9-25-11 Rachel's installation at Grace Pres

the Gospel Choir at Grace Pres...Fabulous

The restaurant in Montclair, NJ where Tim, Liv, Jen and I had the quintessential New Jersey experience...the owner "did us a favor..." (some favor...he gave us some free dessert to try...flavored with orange rind...what duh?! I was wishing I had a trap door in the bottom of my mouth so I could empty it immediately. My soft palate would not let the stuff pass.) We also saw three guys with Italian Jersey accents out front eating pizza and drinking espresso. The place could easily be renamed Caffe Mafia

Something we're really gonna miss about our beloved corner at Pinewood and Sefton (the ice cream truck, that is; not Maddie..we're bringing her with us)

Karin ran, too. We had a great day together.
