I’m very lucky because for me Tim’s siblings and their spouses and kids truly are family. We’re all far-flung, and for years have met up at family weddings. But this time, Christine and Steve visited just because, and it was wonderful. (Above, Tim’s sister Christine, her husband Steve, and Tim.)
Hikes around Angel Island and up Ring Mountain, expert grilling, gorgeous salads, high-stakes Qwirkle, and, a huge bonus, many long-delayed household repairs. Tim called it the “most productive vacation in history.” (Christine and Steve may need a vacation from this vacation.) I’m so grateful. Family is everything.
Dinner on the deck. Steve started grilling brisket in early AM. The flavor!
Who knew a repaired retaining wall could make me so happy?
High top table, newly painted blue. Small things make me happy.
