It was birthday time at the office and so we celebrates the birthdays of Stephanie Cook and Megan McCourt
The next day, Jennifer Potter of Audit came by for a meeting
and then I headed home for dinner with Cornel and the family.

To get ready for Mother's Day, Suzanne and I took a walk in the Institute woods where we saw the George Washington marker
and then Suzanne made her way through the woods

Back at home, I took before photos of Ben before he went off to get his Mother's Day present
At the PEF dinner, we sat with Alan and Audrey who posed for these photos.
Ben awoke and presented his Mother's day gift
and then we drove to Jane's apartment where we saw the nicely hung shelves
and then took to the streets
walking past the Spy Store
until we got to DBGB
where the walls were covered with sayings
Which distracted from the menu
as I considered age
and then went back to the menu
to order my drink
as Jane and Ben posed
and then Suzanne and I did
before this family (minus one) photo
was taken by this gentleman
and we returned to the menu
and I noticed the beauty of my drink
and of the signs
before the butter and jelly arrived
to accompany the basket of breads
and then Suzanne's sausage
my omelette
Ben's burger
and Jane's croque monsieur arrived
as Ben took the jalapeno out of his piggie burger
and then we watched the dessert
and caught one more sign before beginning the trek home
past this very interesting sign
and the mother's day celebration at a bar we didn't go to
but we did see a values statement
as we went into Brooklyn (the store, not the borough)
and Ben tried on a hat
but I noted the sad situation of this lost person.
Before leaving town, we brought our waters from Starbucks
to visit Jeff.
Brian Herrara stopped by to fill out paperwork and I was able to welcome our first arriving new faculty member,
