Katy had her choral concert at school. It was actually a concert for all the music. The band, the strings, and the chorus all played for us. The chorus was the best. Lots of “Hot Cross Buns” and the like from the others.
Margaret had her second piano recital this weekend. Unfortunately, I was in Japan for the first one. She did well.
Margaret and Katy had their annual gymnastics show this weekend. They both have gotten a lot better. It is amazing the things Katy can do now. I guess she has been doing this gymnastics thing for many years, but most of what she does I don’t even know the name for.

Another Update
Another update. This one the entry stone has been done. A few of the cabinets in the kitchen have been set. The stone for the hearth is down. Almost all of the tile is done.
We were in Tahoe for the Memorial Day Weekend. A little more work on the house. A trip to Squaw. And a few inches of snow Saturday morning.
Katy, Margaret, and Jenna entertained people at the art show.
Katy was in a tennis tournament at the Courtside Club. They only barely got started then it was rained out. It has been scheduled for next week. They were playing 2 no ad game matches, she lost the first 2 games then split the next 2. I think that they are going to just start over in two weeks.

Stained Ceilings
The ceilings are done in the Tahoe house. Elizabeth spent a bunch more time painting. I assembled the IKEA cabinets.
Today, the kids, the Cooper kids, Alan, and I went to the San Francisco Zoo. We took LOTS of pictures. Katy took about half the pictures. She took a lot more pictures of the children than I did. They rode the train. Saw lions, and tigers, and bears (and lots of other stuff). It was a beautiful day in San Francisco and the animals seemed to be out enjoying it as well.
Marcella and Charlotte came to visit, and we all drove up to Napa to spend the weekend with Anette. It was a wonderful girl’s weekend, with great friends, great food, Anette’s awesome chocolates (and peanut brittle, and sauces, and…), lots of wine (yes, I even drank some of it), beautiful scenery and weather, fun shopping, a spa visit, and just hanging out with each other, Anette’s family and a bunch of French vintners.
This photo was taken at Silver Oak. If you click on it, you will find more photo taken at Copia, and from a terrace at Silverado. – Elizabeth
