Our Visit to Pomona

We went to Pomona Arts Colony for "Day of the Dead" celebrations! Delicious food, performances, arts, crafts, and a car show all greeted us there.

We were even lucky enough to run into our yoga instructor, getting ready for the circus arts performance later that eve!
 

Sunday Brunch Treats

We had TWO treats on Sunday the 23rd.

First, my daughter came into town to celebrate her 30th year Webb class reunion, which coincided with Webb's 100 year anniversary.

Second, she met us for Sunday brunch, and arranged a little bday freebie for me! My partner and I are getting ready to dive into some chocolate goodness.
