Zoë and I spent a fun two hours yesterday at our neighborhood Starbucks with our friends Bruce (who took this photo), Mary, daughter Julie and Eddie, The World's Officially Cutest Dog. This was the day before our daughters entered high school.
Unseasonably cool weather for Sacramento, perfect for reflecting on life and enjoying one of its gifts-- a long and rich history with friends of many years. Mary spotted Peg when she and Zoë were at a neighborhood coffee shop twelve years ago, when our identically aged squids were tiny... introduced herself, and the rest is history. So glad Peg had a hankerin' for a mocha that particular day. Can't imagine not knowing these wonderful folks.
Zoë's doing well with braces and doesn't complain. I'll be honest-- if I had braces, I'd be whining all the time and you'd be plenty tired of hearing about it.
Wednesday is Peg's halfway point for chemo, third of six. We'll keep you posted.

What a lovely picture of Zoe. The dog is cute, but Zoe is the real star in the picture.
Indeed, Zoe is absolutely beautiful! What poise!
And, as the sister of Eric, I well remember that he indeed did some complaining about his braces. But, one great thing about we "Warps" having braces was that after our visit to the "Ortho" in Grand Island, Nebraska (40 miles from Minden) our Dad would take us to Kings Food Host Restaurant for the best malts EVER to ease the pain.

Hi Guys,
Wow! The halfway point on chemo! That sure went by like a rocket! I'll be counting down the days for you until mid-October!
That puppy and Zoe look like they belong together! I wish I were there to bake cookies or tell jokes or run around your house in circles shouting "The British are coming.." or something totally non-sensical, so you could all be saying, "Thank goodness Peg didn't inherit THOSE genes!"
Take care and I send tons of love,
Lori
