I realize that yesterday was veteran’s day.. but I didn’t want to miss honoring all the veterans out there for their service. 

I particularly want to thank my dad  Hugh and dianes dad Gabe for their service. 

I know that serving your coutnry was an improtant part of both of your lives.. 

thank you for what you did ! We love and miss you both…

We got to hang out with Sho until he had to leave for a class.. // it was so great to see him !

..  other folks filtered in through the evening.. Rana, Sumner, Martina, Adonis, and their beautiful 3 year old son Armenius , John S.  and Becky.  along with Maxs housemates Bridget, Amanda and David.. and Chowder the parrot and Artemis the cat..  it was a spontaneous party with a really fun mix of people, and connections!
