we had a really nice yeah yesterday… Very slow start… I took a longest run… Then went over to gabe’s. GabÉ and Sam showed up around noon… (… I know it must be strange to see “Gabe and Sam”…)… Sam is his really nice girlfriend.
Anyway… They showed up around mid day and we went out to brunch.… That’s a real Portland sunday.

Later that day… when brunch wore off… People started showing up at the house for our locket party…
Diane Mayday gift to gab of his grandpa gabes folding ruler… It was a treasured toy when she was a kid… And grandpaGabe always Told him to be careful with it. It was cool seeing Gabe get that gift… While wearing his other grandfather sweater to… Two grandfather moment grandfather moment
That seems like a good time to decorate the tree that we picked up the day before.… It was Sean, Mel, Emma, I’ll be on… I think that’s it. We had a lot of fun decorating the inside and outsidetrees.
That Included placing angel on the tree that had been at Diane’s family since before she was born so let’s say 62 years old?
Meanwhile… Diane was grinding cutting and chopping boiling to make us the most delicious latke dinner.. It was the first night of Hanukkah… And we were doing our family Blend… It felt good
Gabe did the blessing over the candles
He also tried the chocolate chip cookie… A new tradition perhaps?
nite all, nite sam
