where has the time gone?

My gosh, the last post was at Christmas time, and now Valentine's Day has come and gone.
And a hectic time it has been! Punctuated by some wonderful happenings, a few of which might be worth mention.

First, IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH -- we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary on February 4, which sets an all-time record for each of us, even more so because we are (a) still together, and (b) still in love with each other.

We celebrated by going to the Stanford women's basketball game (where they won, in an awesome display), and then the next night trying Marche, a highly touted French restaurant in Menlo Park (the touts were right!).

We celebrated Valentine's Day two ways -- (a) with tickets for Michael Buble, pronounced B00-blay or something like that, in April; and (b) with a party for a 15 year old beagle Todd, owned by Ian Gilchrist, one of our crazy neighbors from the old Woodside environs (Preston Road...).

I called my 'big sister' Sharon last evening to get caught up on all their goings-on; the big event in their life is that they are anticipating a little boy in April -- their first great-grandchild. WOW!

Quick note, doesn't begin to convey how frenetic things feel. But for now, peace and love!
