Kathy is of Italian descent, and is the most amazing keeper of all things in and out of doors, including gardening, cooking, sewing and entertaining.
This is one portion of Kathy's basil garden which is larger and healthier than all of the gardens I've ever had in my entire life.
And these are the vineyards in their backyard...
I think if we lived here, our visits to the grocery store would be significantly truncated.
We were joined for dinner by Steve and Kathy's son, Andy. Cousin Andy was a huge hit with the kids because he let them play on his iPhone and taught them all about Pokemon-Go. Note: Henry's headband and wristbands were made by Aunt Kathy as one of many "Welcome!" gifts which stayed on him all weekend.
These KA-POW! BAM! bands gave him all kind of super-super powers, including the ability to jump really high and run very fast, and not get wet when he blazed through sprinklers.
When he let me borrow them for a couple minutes, I was amazed at how I, too, was suddenly graced with super speed and agility. Bob and Weave! Duck and Run! Not even Ricardo could catch me!
Soon, the fog rolled in and as the sun set, the heat of the day faded to a perfectly cool evening. Made all the more perfect by a bonfire and 'smores.
Because Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve know how to do things right.
