My mom's memorial. Amazing catered spread done by her friend Peter---smoked salmon, spicy shrimp, pulled pork on biscuits, these cool canapes with prosciutto, beets, goat cheese and sweet potatoes, frittata and maybe more that I missed. We rounded it out by bringing vegetables, cheese and crackers, chips and dessert (I was gratified that my banana cake with penuche frosting went fast. My caramel-butterscotch blondies were a little underdone but tasty. I didn't want to audition any new recipes!). The gathering was nice; people said lovely things and seemed to enjoy themselves. Tears and laughter, as expected!
Dinner was leftovers back at my dad's, plus some pizza. Another long day, but it's so nice to see everyone.

Maggie made a beautiful poster; this is just a small part
