Winter Formal

February 1, 2026

Last night was Buchanan's Winter Formal, and as usual Rafe was a good sport and came along to keep me company. I just love to see the kids all dressed up, and I love getting dressed up to go out on a date with Rafe, even if it is to a high school gym.

Double Date Night

January 24, 2026

Jim and Christy were in town this weekend, so we planned a whole evening. We met up for dinner at Kocky's Bar and Grill in downtown Fresno. A little loud, but they had good food and good service. Then we headed to The Grand 1401 (a beautiful venue in the 10th floor ballroom of an old downtown building) to see a Candlelight Concert. The theme was Queen vs. Abba, presented by a string quartet. The music was of course familiar, but the setting made it magical. Once it was over, we took Jim and Christy to the new speakeasy in downtown Clovis-the place we spent our New Year's Eve. Such a cool vibe! It was a relaxing, effortless evening, and already we can't wait for them to come back to town so that we can plan another outing.
