It was fun to see so many of you at our performance and fall feast yesterday. Congratulations to Mr. Todd for putting on a great performance with his music classes and to the students for their singing and being an excellent audience! I hope you all enjoy this week and are able to have some relaxing family time together. I will be spending a day in San Francisco next week with Hope and then spending the rest of the time in Bodega Bay with my other children as well as my mom and all my siblings and their families.
See you in December!
