Filoli Flower Show and Mother’s Day Brunch
April 25, 2011
Love the Mother’s Day Brunch, I took my Mom who lives in Michigan there for Mother’s Day, a couple year’s ago and it was fantastic. Mom is coming out again for Mother’s Day this year and what a surprise to her to take her again… This is really a lovely event… Sunday, May 8th, 2011
Get your tickets early!!! Some of the times are sold out!!! An example of some of the menu items are following.
Brown Sugar & Honey Glazed Ham and Frittata with Asparagus, Wild Mushrooms, Red Peppers & Shallots with Lemon Herb Chicken Breast
July 4th, Los Trancos Woods Marching Band at Friends Barbecue
July 7, 2010
I hope everyone had a great July 4th with family and friends. I would like to share a couple short videos of the group, they are awesome. My Mom’s favorite people and band.
They are always looking for new members:
Just a bit of history….On January 1, 1960, several residents of Los Trancos Woods Circle formed the Los Trancos Woods Community Marching Band. After their debut parade around “The Circle,” they continued to participate in parades around the San Francisco Bay Area, growing in number through the years. They have won many awards for their performances in such events as the Redwood City, California 4th of July Parades, San Francisco St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the Castroville Artichoke Festival. And, have since grown to a bigger group.
What you see here are a few members enjoying the hospitality of their friends backyard or should I say front yard of David and Elyane Larimer. Thanks to their hospitality, I was able to enjoy being there as well. And, enjoyed a fabulous barbecue as well.
Memorial Day Music at the Alpine Inn, Historical Beer Garden
May 31, 2010
I went over to hear the music from a few bands at the Alpine Inn to welcome in the beginning of summer, or so we think!!! One of my friends, Bill Collins was joining the band with his harmonica. He is really good and enjoys playing with them. With the beautiful weather we are having this is a great weekend to go over there and enjoy the weather, friends and a beer or hamburger! Tell Geri and Molly “Hi” from me.
Happy Memorial Day!

Alpine Inn in Portola Valley
April 12, 2010
Whether you want a quick workout or a leisurely spin, The Loop in Palo Alto has you covered. This popular road bike route has several iterations; the 
one we recommend is relatively short, not too demanding, and suitable for novice or advanced riders. No road bike? Rent one at Bike Connection for $35 (a bit steep, but the wheels are yours for 24 hours). The 18-mile loop passes the Stanford campus, vaunted venture-capital companies on Sand Hill Road, and multimillion-dollar estates. The most-scenic stretches are west of I-280 in the less-trafficked towns of Woodside and Portola Valley. Those on a leisurely pace can make a pit stop at the historic Alpine Inn, two-thirds of the way through the ride; at more than 150 years old, this roadhouse beer garden is one of the Peninsula’s longestrunning businesses. Finish with a mad dash or a slow ram! Either way works close for the loop.
I am prejudiced of course, since I used to fly with Geri, who helps her Mom (Molly) run the place.
