Sydney turns 11

Friday, February 22, 2008

Syd started her birthday weekend with a special dinner at home.  She enjoyed her all-time favorite meal - pasta and shrimp. Of course, she saved some room in her belly for the infamous birthday cake, a raspberry mousse concoction.

Saturday festivities included a party with her best pals. Pecan ball cookies and beading necklaces were part of the fun. This time ice-cream cake was the topper.

Toothless

Syd lost her third tooth in two months! Funny how the teeth dropping was inactive in the last couple years.

Yerba Buena Garden Shoes

Saturday, February 9, 2008

After my Powerpoint class at the Downtown branch of the City College of San Francisco, Keith and Sydney met me for lunch and an afternoon of downtown sites.

On our way to the SF Moma we passed by this line of shoes in front of the Yerba Buena Gardens museum. Ahh, here's a second life for worn out shoes.

Our first visit to the SF MOMA was to see the Olafur Eliasson exhibit of light, water, wood and metal. 

We couldn't take any pictures of the exhibit, but did get Olafur's flying fan in the lobby.

Turning Point

I entered the monthly photo contest at work this month. Below is the best of my three entries. The theme was Turning Point. It didn't make it into the top 3, but got a lot of compliments.
