Do you know the way to San Jose?

I sent an invitation for a brunch to celebrate Carrie and Erik’s birthdays, an annual event I always do. Ari will be in Oregon and Isaac in Denmark. Isaac responded, suggesting that I change location to Nanortalilk in Greenland, midway between Copenhagen and Alameda.

Under consideration

Ari and Isaac came over for dinner last night. They each caught me up on their current activities and plans for the future. They asked about my relationship with my mother. Questions and answers came easily for all of us.

Comfortable.

The current administration is doing devastating things. I rarely make political comments on my blog, but I live with these thoughts all the time. We are being reduced to a country of white people (preferably men by those in power). And people are struggling financially. Many are choosing not to talk about it.

Please vote.

We had quite a few events together in a relatively short period of time. Dinner out, graduation, lunch out, brunch and then a second brunch to celebrate birthdays. It is easy and wonderful to be with them. We never run out of things to talk about.

Good people.

Many years ago a group of women exercised at Curves at the same time. We decided to start having lunch together once a month. We have been doing so at least ten years. We meet at Jim’s On the Course. Yesterday there were seven of us.

Great catching up.

The Mission Hub School was my son Erik’s idea. It would focus on medical and bio-tech for the high school students who chose to go there. The location is ideal. The school was built and opened recently. I am thrilled to be able to go on a tour with Erik this week. I am so proud of him.

And I am so happy for the students.

Ari graduates from high school this week. Jules comes to town. Dinner together tonight. Isaac comes in for the graduation Tuesday. Lunch afterward. A brunch to celebrate on Saturday.

Meaningful time with family.

The gate to my backyard became difficult to open and close. The latch had become unhinged. I contacted the property management company and it took them a long time to respond. I use the gate every day, often a few times, and I had to lift it to move it. Today they did the repair.

It took them 1 ½ hours.

Lots of things to look forward to. Seeing the play Ari wrote. Seeing Ari acting in another play. Having dinner with my family. Mother’s Day with my family. SFMOMA with Carrie. Touring the Mission Hub school Erik built in SF. Ari’s graduation. Going to visit Jules. Ari leaving for Reed.

I have a good life.
