A quick look back (there

there might be more later,

this is it for now): here's how

Sunday/Monday was spent.

Would like to send out sincere

thanks to the brilliantly elegant

Claudia Schwartz of Bell'occhio

for knowing the perfect table

covering (hemp; magnificent)

& sharing it for the event. Another

note of gratitude to very talented

Mercedes McAndrew for coming

by with her marvelous camera

(which will surely supply better

photos than mine) and great eye.

Many thanks to the Foothill

Auxiliary to Peninsula

Family Service for hosting

Holidays on a High Note

and helping transform lives.
