Art's Birthday - April 27

We celebrated Art all day on April 27th. Cousin Greg came up for L.A. for a visit, Shu Shu was here - a party was eminent. Art left as usual early for the pick-up delivery day a lonesome task indeed. We tracked him down and joined him for an Indian feast at Zante's. YUMMMMM. We parted ways, the boys continuing the laundry route. Susan and I embarked on "Operation Birthday" runnign errands around the city for a feast.

The children returned from school, Avalon asking if she could stay for a playdate. The weather was unusually warm so the crab pool was inflated. So of course Divo and David were invited to the birthday feast - but some vegetarian options needed to happen, Divo brought some tofu and I whipped up a second vat of sauce that we marinated the ribs....Next, Nancy, Matt and Cabot arrived, then I called Naomi, David and Leon - it was a PARTY! The children ran wild. Of course as soon as it was time to eat the wind picked up and it got too cool for an outside event so we quickly made an indoor picnic. Art felt properly feted and fun was had by all.
