Day After Our 37th Anniversary

We were planning to away for a quiet weekend for our anniversary.  But it did not turn out that way.  First of all, Cynthia and Joshua decided to get baptized an confirmed on 8/30 and Daddy invited the people at retreat to come to our place for BBQ on 8/29.  On top of that, Adrienne from our church invited us to attend a dinner fundraising for Gum Moon on 8/28. She was awarded the Carol Lee award for her outstanding long time participation with the organization.  Therefore, we are happy to celebrate in town. We know that it would be a great weekend.

On our day, 8/27, Daddy took me to have dim sum for lunch.  He handed me an envelope with two tickets to see Josh Groban in October and season tickets to Berkeley basketball.  Wow, that is quite exciting. Daddy thinks that we have a chance to go to Final Four.  We will see.   Happy Anniversary!

But, I just want to share our experience on Friday with you.  The dinner was at Far East Restaurant, typical Chinese dinner. The company was great.  Adrienne sat us with her children and her long time best friend Lois.  Her husband and she are retired and they took up wine making as a hobby.  She brought their wine to share with us.  By the way, her husband did not come because he was too busy to get ready for harvest.  They named their wine "Peacock". The wine are pretty good.  Daddy won a silent auction of three bottles.  Lois invited us to go soon to help harvesting.  We accepted it and we think I would be interesting.  The party ended around 10:30 and we were ready to go home and looking forward to the BBQ next day.  We usually turned on the radio to KCBS when we drive home. But since Giants won, Daddy turned to KNBR so we stuck on 101 and tried to find our way out and finally got home around 1am.  Also if I looked at my text, we would be good because Jaime warned us.  I wanted to pee so badly.  It was all because a FEDEX truck hit a pole and a live wire fell on 101.  All lanes were closed in Burlingame.  Thank God that no one was hurt but a lot of angry people.  When we were leaving 101, I turned around and saw a sea of RED.  We are very thankful,
mom and dad
