From @thebutchershopbyniku shelf to table top, tonight’s pork tomahawk dinner was simply unbelievable! Thanks to @stevec4747 for the delightful brussel sprouts side dish and Moscow mule drinks 🍻#dinner #foodie #homecooking
Mothers Day weekend with @stevec4747 discovering new flavours @stockhomepetaluma (delicious Scandinavian fusion dishes), enjoying our all-time favorites @mcevoyranch@coastcafebolinas and viewing @nicoleskibola ‘s and @sallyrobertsonart ‘s beautiful art in print and carefree gardens. Truly, every second a reminder of our special moms who gave us so much to be thankful for ❤️. #mothersday #weekendvibes #foodie #art #gardens Photocredits courtesy of:@marshymellowe and @stevec4747
One of the most loved songs and most requested by my Mom. Thank you @up_cherubs for reviving this lovely song and giving us one more chance to sing together. #ugoyngduyan #upcherubim #mothersday
Every Mother’s Day, I look for seashells. Just like Mommy and I used to do. Here, we had gone adventuring up through Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan and got stuck in a sudden storm. The roads were flooded so we stayed overnight in this one last vacant room at a resort. That morning, everything was calm and the sea was clear. She made the best of our unplanned delay and went up and down the shores of Lake Michigan finding treasures left by the storm. Today, I like to think she’s out there searching for seashells along the golden shores of Heaven, and maybe she tossed one back to the sea and found its way to me. ❤️ #memoriesofmymother #mothersday
Photo dump of Day Two in DC, started out all rainy that morning at US Treasury (Tax) that pivoted to a memorable afternoon of discussions with Congressional tax-writing committees at Senate and House after a phenomenally delicious pizza power lunch with my favorite women lawyers at @grazienonna ! Always humbled how well received and welcome we are at these offices, the officials and hardworking staffers at the Hill. Makes all the months of preparation and extra hours of work for these meetings more than worth the few minutes of intense and focused discourse with the smartest minds in the room! Thanks @jenniharmon@jssilvius and Robin for the solid support and friendship. Until next year, same place, same time? #womeninlaw #washingtondc #dcdelegation
Day One of the DC Delegation - Between our meetings at IRS National Tax Office and US Joint Committee on Taxation, a few adventurous colleagues and I took a trip to the US Capitol…and that made ALL the difference! DC Vibes, anyone? #monday #washingtondc #uscapitol
In a galaxy far far away (from California), lawyers from the sun-kissed West Coast assembled for the annual pilgrimage to DC, to bring perplexing tax issues of Death Star magnitude and ask for change. With less than 24 hours before the start of the first round of presentations at the Capitol, we wined and dined, chillaxed and enjoyed a quiet evening at @centrolinadc , saving our energy for tomorrow’s much anticipated taxing meetings! #maythefourthbewithyou #starwars #centrolinadc
Perfect BBQ brunch with my lifelong besties! Finally got my hugs, smiles, and laughter with my dearest friends Carol, Charles, Cleve and Shannon on my only Sunday in our favorite gathering place - around the table, filled with delicious homecooking and tons of stories! And that table always has room for a few more good friends - it’s been decades since I last lived in DC, but every trip is like just a homecoming with the best welcome crew in town! Super thankful for every minute I got to share with these very special human beings indeed ❤️❤️❤️ #sunday #brunch #lifetimefriends
Thanks to the power of prayers manifested through ultrasound-based sports medicine care*, Jen and I are DC-bound today! Yay! Loving we are enjoying an early morning latte with a view courtesy of the Maple Leaf lounge even though we’re flying United 🍁🍁Gotta love the ties that bind US and Canada, so evident beyond doubt here! #saturdayvibes #travel #airportlounges
