Kids today!

I'm so proud to be an alum of Lowell High School in San Francisco! When Fred Phelps and his hate group (I refuse to call it a church) came to town to picket schools and Jewish organizations, some schools chose an active, peaceful response.
I can imagine my daughter's friends and school doing something like this. Kids today can be wonderful when they have good models, the support of their elders, and are encouraged to be their best selves.

New Year's Eve rainbow from Zaragoza!

Our beloved Blas has just arrived back home in Zaragoza where it was raining. He captured this rainbow looking out the front window after the rain stopped--what a wonderful image for this transition from 2009 to 2010!

More wedding pictures

Amy and Miriam made the party more fun!

Penelope and Pablo, very elegant!

Amparo and Jesus.

Marian and Blas had matching coats.

Loren and his niece Crystal who actually had to run out and bang on the door of the plane so she could make her connection! We're so glad she made it.

Sue and Andrew came from England; here they are getting ready to throw their rice at the grooms.

Loren's niece Jenny and her husband Dave also flew in from the States.

Gail took time off from work to be with Loren and Blas and helped so much with all the preparations.

A wedding invitation!

In just a few months, I'll be in Spain celebrating the marriage of two men whom I love dearly.

Pouring the foundation. The work started in late May, with a parade of machines and an amazing crew.















Now the view south has a frame.
