It’s been over four months since the Magic Family gathered together but after much playful planning, our three families gathered for a Mother’s Day celebration. With yellow caution tape, I divided our spacious back yard into three sections with a wedge of patio connecting into our kitchen where Art and I could sit.
I planned for alfresco dining and set up three decorative tables for our socially distance families. For the few days prior, I worried and watched the Santa Cruz weather report change from blissfully sunny to heavy afternoon fog but on Sunday by 4:00 P.M. the sun was shining brightly and we enjoyed a magical back yard barbecue.
The clouds parted at 3:30 and our party curtains rose at 4:00 P.M. John entered from the stage left garden gate and Alisha and her family entered from the stage right garden gate. Our koi pond was the neutral zone and I created a safe wedge for Art and me to sit with access to our kitchen. The caution tape was mostly for fun but it helped keep our grandchildren within mindful boundaries.
I believe we are all living our own stories in this upside down world and I wanted to share a bit our our story with you. We are all running the same race and don’t have a clear idea of where the finish line might be. We look forward to seeing all of you when we reach the finish line!
Be well….
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Love to you all. Xo s
Alisha and I will miss seeing you at the summer shows…but with luck, San Carlos may still happen. I hope you and your family are happy and healthy.
