Forgive me, my neglected blog. John and I are back to our very active social life, so updates should be more frequent! Life on Crossridge Road continues to be wonderful!!!
We kicked off our month of March Madness by spending the day in Orinda with Cathy Jensen and her partner, Kathy (sp?); Bill and Claire Jensen; Cathy and David (John's sister and brother-in-law). The Jensens were neighbors of John and Cathy's growing up and they've kept in touch. Here they all are gathered around the fireplace: 
We were treated to a wonderful brunch of french toast, grilled sausages, fresh fruits, scones....and these yummy chocolate dipped orange candies (homemade....can you believe it?)....they were marvelicious!!
Oh, before I forget, here was the lovely table before we were 
seated....note the cute napkin ring holders are bottomed-out miniature clay pots....so darned cute!!! Here are our wonderful hostesses....gracious, generous, and so thoughtful! Thank you so much for a wonderful day! 
So, why do I call this March Madness? It's packed with many activities....John and I are headed to Butler for a visit with my family from March 10th - March 17th. Many other "Bock family" members will be meeting us there, so we'll have a fun week of visiting, card playing, eating, drinking, and being merry! March 19th brings a visit from my cousin, Benita, and her daughter, Renata. They are flying out from Colorado and one of the highlights of their trip will be attending (with me, of course) the Scrapbooking Expo at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It's Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st....not sure what to expect, but it should be tons of fun!!! They are staying until the 24th, so we're hoping to take them to Point Reyes one day and then maybe to SF. On March 27th, we're getting together with friends for a wild night of eating, drinking, and playing Bocce Ball in Livermore. There are a couple of other social events, but you get the idea.....madness.....in a good way.
That's it for now....going to make a couple of cards and then call it a night. If you're on Facebook, look me up as I often post photos on my FB account that I don't post here.
Happy days to you, dear friends! Love, Carolyn & John
