San Antonio adventures

I've been in San Antonio for a few days visiting Mike and Sarah. We are having a great time, but I haven't really taken many photographs. Here are some highlights though.

Facetiming with Annabelle and seeing her apartment in Denmark. Sassy liked that, too:





Seeing Mike come home in uniform:



The squirrels here are not to be messed with:



Margaritas:



Watching Sassy watch a squirrel watching Sassy:



Getting cute texts of Annabelle having a blast in Copenhagen:





Teaching Sarah how to make Grandma Jernigan's banana pudding, which came out perfectly:

. . . but not for long

Remember a week ago, when Annabelle came home from Rochester? Well, she's off again, this time for a summer in Copenhagen!

Annabelle is a crackerjack packer and managed to stuff a summer's worth of stuff into one 25-pound backpack and her carry-on tote. I can't do that for a weekend trip:



On her way:



Bon voyage, Annabelle!



Can't wait to visit her in July!

Annabelle's home . . .

After work today, I went out for dinner and drinkies with the girls from the office:





From there, I headed over to the airport to pick up Annabelle, who is home temporarily from college:



We are all happy to have her home, but Ginger is the most enthusiastic:

Chilly pomp and circumstance

Fred and I watched the webcast of UR's commencement exercises today, partly so we could hear Annabelle perform with the band and partly so we could get some idea of what next year will be like for us. We learned that we should probably pack a sweater.

The band inside their tent:



I found this hat to be amusing and sad all at once:



Look, it's Christian:





How cold is it, you ask:



The music director was kind enough to treat the players to Starbucks after the ceremony was over:



I can't believe my baby is going to be graduating in a year!

Happy birthday to Fred

What do you give the man who has everything? Something to drink!



And a boozin' lawn gnome that lights up at night:

Rochester: Mother-daughter selfie

Rochester: Cold, getting colder

Today started off cold and actually got colder. Is it really almost May?!

Rochester: Breakfast buddies

Annabelle and I met up with Christian and Jamie at the diner this morning:

Rochester: Wash your hands!

The university is just coming out of a most unfortunate norovirus outbreak. The school is being very proactive, and so far Annabelle has managed to stay healthy.

Rochester: Who are the people in your neighborhood?

I'm up in Rochester for a few days visiting Annabelle. Today I went to the Mt. Hope Cemetery to see the graves of some local notables:





It's a really beautiful place:

Hey, Tom Sawyer, nice fence!

Supreme Luncheon

Today was the second year in a row that I have attended the JAG spouses' club Supreme Court luncheon. Always a fun, educational time! Here are a few pictures (the icy fountain is actually at the Library of Congress):

Playing tourist

James and Meredith are in town for a few days with their boys, and Fred and I took today off from work to accompany them on their journey through the city. Here are some of my favorite photos:
