Animal Development week, Dinners with the McAlbas

This week was Animal Development week at work, looking at two Echinodermata and also Aves embryonic development.

Thursday night I missed choir practice to have dinner with Joyce and family, William and family at Mom and Dad's home.  We had chicken in A1, nilaga, salad, and a birthday cake for Solomon...berry with allergen-free snickerdoodle topping and vanilla soy "ice cream."

Friday, my meeting at work ended early, so Mom, Dad, and I went to Cranberry to visit with Gene.  Phyllis was already there, and he enjoyed all the company.  Bernie arrived as we were departing, and we arrived chez McAlba's to see Joyce, Greg, and the children playing with Caroline (Benny and she are Monopoly buffs).  Jane arrived later, from work, and we enjoyed a meal prepared by Joyce, Miranda, and Phyllis:  Linguini with clam sauce or marinara, green salad with candied pecans and gorgonzola cheese, ginger cookies with Italian ices.  What a treat!  I missed the opportunity to have a group step photo.  Life is good.

Joyce's family followed us to Lolo and Lola's home in preparation to leave on an early flight Saturday morning.
