I know I've been lax on posts lately, but I've been working on a few big projects, so that's a trend that will likely continue for the next several weeks. I'll try to post updates, even if they're small, so that I don't complete disappear.
Now, for example, I'll share some photos taken the weekend of May 5, when my Dad was in town for his annual medical conference. Thursday night we met him and his girlfriend, The Adventurer, for dinner. It was the first time for our Kung Fu Panda to meet his other "grandma." Then on Friday, our friend The Improv Lawyer, baby sat for us while The Gryphon and I went to the banquet.

to look at the camera at the same time!

This year's centerpieces of floral arrangements were much more
subdued and tasteful than usual. Not even any balloons!
