We went to wish well a family friend who was married--- we got to go to san Franfrisco, which I love. The leaves were all dressed up in colors for the wedding. Our friend is from an African nation, and the reception was traditional for her country. So joyous. As the new couple entered, some men were dressed in colorful robes, the music began, and the energy was high! The new people was preceded by people waving roses. The most wonderful part was the palpable love people had for the new couple, and for each other, with embraces, and patient explanations to those not familiar with all the traditions. A wonderful ime had by all. Unfortunately, the event came to a close, but not in my memory.

So back home to So Cal---weather is getthing a little cooler, and fixing things, and scrubbing, cleaning etc. I have finally purchased the cotton yarn for a sweater that is styled after a short kimono. I hope that it turns out well. Back to the rock pile tomorrow---a gentle good night to good friend. My mission this weekend: to hunt more anime! The colors and art, music help to produce a new world. I'm open t o any suggestions folks have.
