Sophia called me to say, “Happy Valentine’s Day.” And invited me to a grandparent’s breakfast, at her school, in April.
Tanya and Sophia had already attended a parent/teacher’s conference and next planned to see the dentist around 11:30. I asked for a ride to run an errand and was granted my request. On the way to my bank Tanya and I talked a lot about bread; as Sophia read recipes from the Tassajara Bread Book which I’d just returned to Tanya. With our errands completed we enjoyed a delightful “surprise” lunch at A.J.Bombers to celebrate Sophia’s exemplary parent teacher’s conference report.
We ate lots of peanuts. Threw the shells on the floor. Sophia wrote on the graffiti covered walls while waiting for our burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. I contemplated how quickly our children grow into young women (or men).

When I returned home I made a chocolate cake (and cupcakes) for Ann;
to accompany her home roasted coffee beans from Bali;
and some thoughts on paper.
