Thank you, Peter, for taking me to the airport. I know you enjoyed your gardening day at Serenbe after you dropped me off. I can’t wait to hear about it!

My flight was uneventful in a good way, and the man sitting next to me on the plane signed up on the spot for our tour to artesan producers in Italy. He said that’s the first thing he’s going to treat himself and his wife to when he retires later this year! We look forward to including you, Cliff! We’ll send all the details as soon as they are finalized.  I can’t believe how much he reminds me of our dear friend Jim Nixon!

HUGO’S GREAT ADVENTURE AT GOLDEN GATE PARK AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO!




You’ve never really lived until you have taken a 16 month-old Hugo to the Conservatory of Flowers at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. We rode with his mom Cati to the University of San Francisco where she works. While she attended a class in the morning, Hugo and I walked the short distance to the Park.

It was a gorgeous, cool day, but Hugo was ready for a nap when we arrived there. I decided we would go to the Conservatory of Flowers first to make sure he would be  awake to see it. It turned out that he rallied just fine when he saw all the beautiful poppies and other varieties of colors in the gardens.

We went into the Conservatory, and even though there were amazing sites to see inside, his favorite things were the goldfish in the pond and the grates in the sidewalk where the water drains out. Those grates were very decorative, and they made THE BEST sounds! We had such a grand time!

On the way back to meet Cati for lunch, Hugo did get in a short nap, so the rest of the day was delightful, too. I will remember our “date” to the Conservatory of Flowers forever, Hugo. Thanks for going with me!!!

Ti amo! Nonna
