This led us to the river where the geese and goslings IMG_0883 IMG_0884 IMG_0885 IMG_0886 IMG_0887 IMG_0888 and rowers IMG_0889 were to be observed from the rocks IMG_0890 as more rowed by IMG_0891 IMG_0892 IMG_0893 which put DrLen into a cell phone mood IMG_0894 even as I took self portraits IMG_0895 IMG_0896 and rang up Jacobo so he could answer DrLen's question IMG_0897 about the derivation of the word Wicked.

Next we headed to Dr Len's house IMG_0898 where there was coconut cake and pie IMG_0899 and liquid IMG_0900 to wash it down as I ate away IMG_0901 and Judy appeared IMG_0902 to start the next course of food.

Back at home, Suzanne IMG_0903 was ready so we went to see Jane IMG_0904 and the gang IMG_0905 IMG_0906 give their flute concerts as Ben and Jane IMG_0907 were ready for celebrations afterwards.

The next day was the next Behrmann dinner. So as we had done in 2004 we put on our fancies and Suzanne posed with Ben IMG_0908 IMG_0909 IMG_0910 and then Ben and Jane IMG_0911 IMG_0912 and then Jane IMG_0913 IMG_0914 and finally me IMG_0915 IMG_0916 IMG_0917 with a pause for Jane's opposites IMG_0918 before we took a few more obligatory photos IMG_0919 IMG_0920 recorded the back yard IMG_0921 and Ben IMG_0922 shooting IMG_0923 and the ball hitting the hoop IMG_0924 so that we could say good bye to Jane IMG_0925 with her opposites IMG_0926 and head to the dinner.

Along the way, we ran into Karin Trainer and Bill Stowe IMG_0927 and Bill was nice enough to take this picture of us IMG_0928 before I took this picture of Steve Weiss and Martha Himmelfarb IMG_0929 though I did not take photos at the dinner itself.

The next morning, we walked into town for Mother's Day coffee and met the Girrleman's IMG_0930 IMG_0931 with their wallet eating dog IMG_0932 before heading home to assemble the troups for the annual Mother's day lunch.

As we'd done in previous years
2004
2003
2002
2001
we went to Main Street where we sat at the same table but in different seats as Ben and Sarah were one side IMG_0933 Suzanne was at the head IMG_0934 and I IMG_0935 sat next to Jane IMG_0936 even as Ben IMG_0937 IMG_0938 posed for a few more pictures. We began with Bloody Mary's (as we did last year) IMG_0939 and then con queso dip IMG_0940 as these family pictures IMG_0941 IMG_0942 were taken by the waitress IMG_0943 who remembered taking our pictures last year as well. Suzanne had salmon IMG_0944 Jane had the sandwich IMG_0945 IMG_0946 Ben had the burger IMG_0947 Sarah had the salad IMG_0948 and I had vegetarian chili IMG_0949 all of which represented only slight departures from the year before. For dessert, we added carrot cake IMG_0950 tot he Mississippi mud IMG_0951 and the brownie with ice cream IMG_0952 from the previous year.

Somehow, I think we'll be going back to Main Street next year.
