Happy everything — I hope your evening was a lovely as ours.

We had a simple night — dinner at Melrose Grill with our friend Dan. Lots of conversation, a couple of glasses of wine . . . and home by 9pm. I was in bed by 10:30, but the fireworks made Sasha go into ‘Defender Doggy’ mode . . . loudly.

The night was incredibly clear, and about 20*, so we had a great view of the fireworks from over the side of the hill.I like looking at fireworks, I just don’t like the loud ones.

Sasha eventually calmed down, and we all went to sleep.

It’s another gorgeous (cold) day.

May 2011 be far better than it’s predecessor!
