day with jane

every year, for as long as i can remember, we spend a day with jane.

jane and my mom were in kindergarten together, and have been friends ever since. some years, we go to her house and shop at the Gilroy Outlets. :) some years, she comes our way and we head for the ocean. but this year, it was downtown santa cruz, Pacific Garden Mall. we had lunch at a sidewalk cafe, walked Pacific, and ended the day at the Cat, and joe took our picture. i don't think we have a single picture from any of our "jane day's", so this was a monumental occasion.

love you, jane!

mom and i gave jane a concert...a little "heart and soul." (i generally hate that song, but jane, being the persuasive, exhuberant soul that she is, had us pull it out for old-time's sake).
