It was a dark and dreary day the afternoon I met up with this family at their home in Marin. Their house still smelled like turkey cooking – I showed up the day after Thanksgiving. We played around the house and outside, utilizing their amazing surroundings as much as possible. Heaven on earth. We ended the session by starting an apple pie, something they love to do together. And lovely Lucia sent me back to my hotel with a bag of apples and pears to share with my family.
