Katherine’s off to China.
Grumpy morning, Vince didn’t get enough sleep. And for his nap, the gardeners woke Vince up with their equipment. Emy took Vince to see Eileen, so he’ll be well entertained.
So we have moved into Casa Martin. On Friday, we went out on a date to Portofino’s. Saturday, we got our bed from storage and put a bunch of stuff in storage. Then Saturday afternoon, we went to Lauren’s graduation party. Today we had the Smiths over. Tired and full and happy.
Ate our organic, local, grass-fed steak last night in the gazebo. It was pretty yummy. Haven’t had beef in a long, long time.
So I got all us Martin’s a gmail account : edda.martin, vince.martin, jeremy.martin, doris.martin. Does this mean I’ll have to change my name to match my gmail account? Sigh.
What a nice weekend. The weather improved from totally humid and yucky on Friday, to much better now. On Friday, we went to the park. On Saturday, Vince and Jeremy went to the Poughkeepsie Farm Project to pick strawberries and to run errands. I packed and hung out with Edda. That evening, we went to the park and had a wonderful salad and turnip dinner. The turnips were delicious, so tender and yummy. I was very happy. Then today we had a bagel brunch with the Martins who are on their way to Putney. And Jeremy cleaned up my hair and now I have a cute bob!
Packing, packing, packing.
Sunday, we had brunch with the Hungs. Went to their house in Los Altos Hills and went to lunch at Ming’s. They had recently come back from Taiwan to move the bone’s of their parents. At Ming’s we had the most delicious fried fish and spicy XO sauce. Very nice afterburn. Donald was there and I negotiated at stay at their house in the shed in their backyard. Donald and Mr. Hung played chess and we all talked about real estate. Then we headed to the airport and got on our red-eye flight and came home.
Yesterday, we saw Susan Kim who was in town on a house hunting trip for her new job at Morgan Stanley. We had lunch together in Palo Alto and then we played in a park for a while. She says she’ll be working 80-100 hours a week and she’ll be starting in mid July. We are relieved that she didn’t buy a house, but is renting. Last night, we didn’t have any plans and thus, we got a little antsy with each other. Today we got up and drove over to Litian’s house in Fremont and went to a park. The park was full of Chinese people. I told Jeremy that he could learn Chinese just by moving to Fremont. Vince got to ride in a Barbie battery-powered car. Then we went over to Jenny and Vince’s in Morgan Hill. Beautiful view and high up in the hills. We saw Helen and played in their playground in their backyard. Mom and Dad bought a house outside Portland.
