Sunday with the family

Miriam and Hayden Cook Dinner

Chopped kale and kimchi.

Purple rice, mushrooms, cabbage, and sweet potatoes

Perfect easy-over eggs

Evelyn and Tom will drive home tomorrow morning, and Miriam and Hayden will fly home in the evening. We’ll be left here — though of course Alice also lives here in Ann Arbor.

What a fun, family time. I love it that they come to your house and do cooking for you too. And a beautiful looking selection it is. That water lily photo is a showstopper.

I don’t think I’ve seen bonsai in bloom. It’s very pretty.

The botanical garden looks wonderful- I love how it has the bonsai. And it looks like you've had a great visit with everyone. You must love having Alice in town though. Hugs-Erika

Looks like a fun day at the Botanical Garden. Those Bonsai trees are incredible.

I know better than to visit when I am hungry. What an amazing spread.
