Batman Strikes Again

A small family gathering--another birthday dinner for Mr S, but he had to cook it because he's the grill guy. It was warm enough to eat outside, always a treat. I made a multi-layered carrot cake, which had a random three candles on top. At least there was no danger of starting a fire. 

Yesterday Treekeeper took us out to dinner and a movie, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, a sweet melancholy powerful story of gentrification, love, family, hope, nostalgia, grief and dreams. The birthday celebrations may be winding down, but you never know.
