Cheri Dreams

In case you haven't figured it out yet...you can scroll over and click on any of the underlined links to pull up more information in a separate window.

To begin, I hung out with Gina, a longtime childhood friend, who I haven't seen in over a year, last Thursday night and we had a great time catching up! And Denise, another longtime friend, flew in from Minnesota on Friday for a funeral on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I do not always have good news to report. My good friends, Tanya and Denise, used to work for Dr. Arnold back in our early 20's and we have all remained in contact with him on and off over the years. He passed away last Saturday, November 3rd after a motorcycle accident, so we attended his funeral and were amazed at how much he accomplished and did over his 66 years of life. Here is his obituary:
Dr. James Edward "Ouzel" Arnold

You will be missed by many, Dr. Arnold.

On Sunday, Dave and I drove up to San Francisco for the....Green Festival

Here are some pics of our day:
I call this one, "Little Boy Playing at the Green Festival".

Closing Ceremonies

Then we drove over to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner and found this restaurant along the pier:
Castagnola’s - Fisherman’s Wharf
The food was wonderful, but somewhat pricey. The view of the pier was exquisite and very romantic. A+ on ambience and food! I'd give Castagnola's a 9 1/2 out of 10, on the Cheri scale, overall. Be sure and check it out if you are up for a trip to Pier 39 in San Francisco.

One last note...here's a cool trailer for a movie I'm looking forward to seeing by Morgan Spurlock (the same guy who produced Super Size Me) when it opens on November 16th:
