Photos taken while sight-seeing in the lovely city by the bay, San Francisco!

Little Italy and then Lombard Street....we hiked up it, and
down it too! We enjoyed a late lunch and tiramisu in a small cafe here!
The late afternoon sun hitting the buildings! (I love the blue shadows and soft buttery yellow structures!)
Having fun with Mary!

Finally crossing the beautiful Golden Gate bridge (looking good at 70!) to find our lodge in Tiburon.

Sunday was a partly couldy day in Tiburon, CA. The surprise 90th birthday party for Mr. Pear's Aunt Hanni was held in a restaurant with a view of Angel Island and the San Francisco skyline. Here we are before the event.....

(note the green tissue package I am holding, it will be in several of these photos!)

At the party, to celebrate her life, were several photos including this one of a lovely young woman on her wedding day!!!!!

After feasting on delicious Mexican cuisine, enjoying a slide show, and toasts and tributes, we moved the party to a nearby home.

Here is Hanni reacting after opening the green tissue package....I think she really liked the socks which I knitted for her!!! Our son and his lovely bride looked on from another corner of the sofa!

It was truly a fantastic day!

Visiting a 70 year-old and a surprise b'day for a 90 year- old!


This bridge (photo from www.dailynugget.com) is 70 years old now. Mr. Pear and I will see it for the first time this weekend. We are going to a surprise birthday party for his 90 year-old aunt. The party is in Tiburon, CA, just across the bay from San Francisco.

I am very happy that we will also be seeing my son and his new bride!!!! We haven't seen them since the wedding in August!

My daughter's family is not able to come so far with the new baby...we will miss them.
[I can't really believe that I am leaving on a jet plane in the morning...so I'd better get that suitcase down and start packing!!!LOL! I did finish the hand-knit socks for the aunt!]
