Hi all,

Here are a few photos from Mom and Sandy's monthly "tea" held last night because the end of the month conflicts with the usual "tea" date.

Mom sends you all warm wishes for the holidays! We are sitting in the kitchen, and she is reading the newspapers. 

1) Sandy with Mom as she practices walking with the walker 2) Betsey Tabraham 3) Danielle with the Chinese exchange student who is staying with her this year 3) Marcia, who was with Mom in the Library School at UC Berkeley 4) Paulette and Anna Jarnagin at the buffet table.

I always forget to take photos of some who attended, and last night was no exception. Benter's husband was there with his brother-in-law Alfred, both of their wives are down with the flu. (But Benter still cooked something to send along.) Danielle is very excited that for her last year of teaching French, her daughter will be sharing her office!

 I mostly conversed with Benter's husband, Kaluoch, and his brother-in-law Alfred who were asking me if Donald Trump had any chance of winning. 

I was so pleased that Kaluoch's sister and her husband  have both moved on to better jobs than they had at Brennan's restaurant and bar. They are here fairly recently from Kenya, just since May.
