It was a quiet weekend in June though there were various life passage events to take place and so the table was set for the bridal luncheon even as the entry way was being decorated with wondrous gifts from Hawaii and these 2 stood watch over the proceedings as the hen looked after all of the eggs and decorations were hung in the windows as the fish moved into a better location and the leis were spread for all to enjoy while the party picks were used in order to get ready for the mai tais the next day.

While the luncheon preparations were happening, Ben, Andy, Kurren and Joel were getting ready to go to Anna's Bat Mitzvah and so the ceremonial photos were taken

even as Suzanne talked to Betsy Ie who was taking them there.

Next it was time for the anniversary celebration encompassing 30 years. Willa Nell and friend were there as Willa and Nell posed before Martha, Malcolm and Bill arrived and I then spoke with Campbell before we went inside for dinner and the celebratory cake which Sam enjoyed as Bill captured pictures of the crowd and I noted the assembled eagerly gathered for Sam's speech ../../../Sabbat/2007/06.23-24.07AnniversariesAndShowers// which made Martha feel good as Willa and Malcolm watched as did Bill who seemed inspired and so Bill offered his own toast as I began to focus on my cake before going outside to see the fireworks

and joining Martha Jessie Bill and Suzanne in watching and participating in discussions.
