Sara, my best friend from high school...is pregnant! Yaaaaaay, Saraaaa! I am ecstatic for her.

Sara is a mind-bogglingly talented bassoonist and music teacher. Her husband Harris is also a crackerjack musician. Any guesses as to whether their kid will have musical talent?

Naturally, Sara has a bunch of cool friends, musicians and artists and helper-types. Hers was the best baby shower I've ever been to - just a fun party with lots of food. --Not just any food, but delicious, gourmet, healthy food made by the host, Ellen. She made crepes, and then had fully-stocked savory and sweet filling tables. There was spinach-mushroom stir-fry, some other tasty greens, butternut squash/onion filling, chicken/cauliflower gravy; and bananas, fresh berries, maple syrup, Nutella, honey, sugar...and I haven't even started on dessert.

I miss Sara since she has been in New York!
