It was May and so there was cause for various celebrations. At the one acknowledging Leonard Barkan for leading the Society of Fellows, I captured this photo of Nick Barberio.

A few days later, Michael Porter arrived with the Saudi contingent from Alfaisal University. I spoke with Maher A. Alodan their Vice President for Research and then there were the group photos of Armond Habiby (Legal Counsel, King Faisal Foundation), Maher A. Alodan (Vice President for Research), Michael Porter (Trustee), me, Prince Bandar bin Saud bin Khaled bin Muhammad Al-Saud, and Ronald Bulbulian (Acting-Provost, Alfaisal University).

On Friday, Suzanne and I went out to a dinner but first I gave Ben and his friends the rules of proper behavior

On Saturday, Suzanne and I went for a walk and ran into Sara Just who posed with Suzanne and then Ben and I went to Sam's Club where we ran into Lianne and Libby.

It was yet another Mother's Day and so we celebrated as we had done in years gone by

though we broke with tradition and here we were at Eno Terra as we entered and explored the menu which seemed to relieve Suzanne as Sarah studied the menu and our waiter told us of the specials while Ed Jane Ben and I made our choices so that bread and dipping juice could arrive before the appetizers of caprese salad and bruschetta arrived with a bloody Mary and a salad soon to be followed by the main courses

The main pages of dessert menu and drinks

tempted Suzanne and Sarah Ed and Jane and Jane and Ben as the desserts arrived as the waiter brought me grappa which left me in the dark and then took this family picture of all of us.
