Last night we all watched The Birds - strange movie. Thankfully, Bodega Bay is nothing like the movie! Most of the buildings are no longer there and the current bird population is in check!
We are on our way to Snellville, GA via Vidalia (yes, where the onions come from). We'll be spending some time this afternoon with Grandma before arriving at Mom and Dad's house tonight.
Here's Alex - Sissy's nephew. He's 2 1/2 and has the vocabulary of a 8th grader - no really, he can identify a trapezoid?!?!
Coming over the Sunshine Skyway bridge is always amazing, but this time there was a storm system sitting right over the mouth of the bay and I couldn't help but take this photo - so cool!
Now, I've saved the best for last in this blog...Saturday night we went to a fabulous dinner party at our friends John and Mavis' place in Belleair Bluffs near Clearwater. If you think dinner parties are an art - Mavis and John are master artists! The presenation, the conversation, the ambience...all amazing. We met Martin and Jules. Martin is the general manager of the Belleview Biltmore (which is about to undergo a total renovation). And the food - cantaloupe with prosciutto, melt in your mouth salmon, fresh haricot verts, buccatini pasta, a wonderful cheese course and homemade sorbet for dessert. All perfectly paired with sparkling, white and red wines. MMMMMMMM!! Thank you John and Mavis for a memorable evening - we can't wait to see you this fall in California!

Is that John's little boy, Alex? What an absolute cutie! When I ran into you that day at the MARTA station (still can't believe the coincidence of that!) and even since then, I've neglected to ask how John is doing. Appears everyone is doing well! Please say hello to him for me.
