I taught Karate for 33 years.

It wasn't a well paying job, but it did have great benefits.

Two of those benefits asked me join them,

and their families for dinner Thursday evening at ...

Benefits being students who became family.

Roberto & wife, Dawn were in from Colorado.

Brandon, Courtney, Noelle & Nova have all stayed in touch.

And, Roberto's parents, Roberto Sr. & Edilia.

Both families had been coming to this restaurant forever.

As is my new custom, I passed around my i-phone for selfies.

Which can turn out scary? 

They are after all still just big kids!

Roberto & Brandon

Dawn & Nova

Courtney & Noelle

Edilia & Roberto Sr.

Mr. & Mrs. Torres Sr., contenders for world best parents ...

were celebrating their 41st anniversary. 

So wonderful to join these families in a great evening!

Several times during the evening, I found myself 

remembering both students from over the years ...

So lucky!

A smile for Saturday ...
