Leaving Palm Springs

The Herberts "rocked" Palm Desert. Mom Dad and Bill are on a long drive home to SF. They left very early to beat LA traffic. 

I fly through Salt Lake City and not ORD thank goodness. I have a shot at making it home by midnight NYC time. :)

We wish you all were here but know you are by mountains of your own!

Happy New Year from California.

On the town

We found a great local Mexican Restaurant with excellent Mariachi music and good food.

We could not hear each other speak during the sets but we sang and clapped along.

Dad really loved the music. 

Jody was on board as an honorary Herbert.

Bill was pretty new. He looks like he is trying to escape.

I had great bangs.

Christmas in the Desert

Christmas Day began with breakfast at the hotel and hurrying back for a heartfelt visit by phone with Chennai. We loved hearing all about Santa's very early morning visit! The we went to church (our third Mass in as many days) and heard a stirring homily by one of the best pastors ever. He spoke of darkness, fears, and the light of the world. 

Back at the hotel we opened our gifts amidst a lot of ohhhing and ahhhing. Thanks to a friend, we got a good tip on the best French restaurant in Palm Desert...and we were there for dinner. Tres magnifique!! A wonderful menu, great wine, incredible desserts. All in all it was a beautiful celebration.  

Thanks Choo

Dad reads a note to our sponsor from Kate.

Dad looked distinguished in his new robe from Kate.

Mom gave Kate the Canary Diamond of India. She Looooves it!
