Wednesday night dinner

There is a long-standing tradition in the Farrell house that we all go to John and Lena's for Wednesday night dinner with Tante Friedel (she has been watching over Mark since he was 11 months old). This started out when Mark and I got married and back then it was an elegant and decadent dinner of adults which usually ended by 10p so I could race home and get ready to go to work at KTVU... now almost 5 years later it has evolved nicely into an early and almost chaotic evening... nonetheless it is a wonderful tradition we love sharing with Tante Friedel who will be 99 on Friday!!
