Visit to Sophie – Her Art

Today my sister Marcy and I took BART into SF to visit our kids in their new apartments. First we visited my son Robin at his new office in the Mission District. The Mission was hot, noisy and teeming with people of every sort imaginable. We sat in the hot sun at an outdoor cafe and had crepes and salad and watched people and talked. Then we borrowed his car and drove across town to the Sunset district. I’m glad Marcy drove since his car has a stick shift and those hills can be scary.

Truly the daughter of my sister Marcy, an interior designer, my niece Sophie alreayd has her first apartment beautifully arranged and furnished (with the help of friends, family and thrift shops). She’s even hung her paintings already and I couldn’t resist sharing them here.

After visiting for a while we decided to take a walk to the beach. We pulled our extra layers from our backpacks and put on earmuffs, down vests, sweatshirts and windbreakers to walk the mile as it was freezing cold, foggy and windy. It’s typical around the Bay Area to have fluctuations of 20 degrees within a few miles. Mark Twain said the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

Sophie and her roommate Casey keep a Sharpie marker on their kitchen table for friends to doodle on. It looks really neat. Here are some of their doodles: IMGP3196 IMGP3198

A great post — I hope to be able to do the same some day with my kids. I especially like the kitchen table idea. I also find it weird that you can be that much colder that many miles south of us. But then we have payback in winter — not that we get much or any snow, mind you, but it stays colder longer.
