Noteworthy points of yesterday:
* i love iMovie. Someday the video of my NC nephew's birthday will upload to facebook (8 hours of processing so far). I was able to show it to the Beijing nephews. I wonder if one day these guys will be on the Facebook-data inheritor and find Auntie has already tagged photos of them. How different a world....
* i'm not so fond of trying to burn DVD+Rs on out macs. Three shiny coasters. Had me running over thirty minutes late to meet my family in San Juan Bautista.
* Despite being late, and Garlic Festival traffic on 101, we all met up wonderfully in the old mission town and had a great time sight-seeing. Nate kept commenting what a good match it was for the kids. Next time: the Niles train?
* Nephew Z takes good photos, actually. On my camera. Also, Mom's camera ran out of power, so i took *lots* of photos. I'm a little overwhelmed by the number. A few of the cemetery photos are up at Flickr, some family photos on Facebook.
* San Juan Bautista is a lovely get away. Lunch at Jardines de San Juan was enlivened by the mandolin player Billy Packard. I sent nephew Z up to buy a CD and tip the musicians.
* Members of The Red Hat Society were dining there, too. They left with kazoos playing with Billy Packard "When the Saints go Marching In" (but it was marching out).
* gift of a half kilo of 'Boh' tea from the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia from my Beijing siblings' family
And a bit about today:
Much sleep last night, although i wonder how well most of it went: i awoke around 3:30 to find Christine had not yet come to be (she's a night owl) and that Edward was attacking my feet and calves. Sharp teeth! I fell back to sleep but was singularly unmotivated to get up.
Slow day, skipped Meeting, made peach pie, kitchen's a wreck but we made some progress, roomba'd the front, moved my bike outside, used the old dye, did a load of laundry to rinse the dye & get clean jeans. Got tired quickly several times.
