Bringing the Party to the Birthday

When life brings you raspberries, bring on the fruit tart.  Life has given Mom a raspberry recently, so Doug generously bought me a ticket to see her for her birthday. I brought my sidekick Finn too. She was definitely surprised, as in jaw dropped, hand to forehead speechless. It was awesome!

We got to see Uncle Ron and most of the Biggars even in our short weekend visit. Uncle Ron took Mom and me to a Bruce Cockburn concert in Berkeley for Mom’s birthday, we did a little Christmas shopping at McCoullou’s and the toy store in Montclair and we had a Finn-picked really fun afternoon at Robert’s redwood picnic area and Chabot science center, where we visited a planetarium and played paddleball with my three beautiful nieces.

Yay, Mom! We hope you get lots more fruit tarts in the coming year.
