The Summer Solstice clicked over last week making it one year, more or less, since Kookaburra's doors opened for the first time. At 7am, a nice man named Larry came in, sat down and ordered the first breakfast. Our small business was off to a frying start.
Since that time, we have made so many, many wonderful, gorgeous, outrageous, fun, kind, funny, thoughtful and loving new old friends. Happy New Year to you all - glad we've got you into our lives!
... thank you 2010. Thank you to our lovely customers and their real 'round table' sense of community. Thank you to our workplace colleagues and our Food, Music and Art collaborators. Thank you to the Givers of Plants, our green friends. Thank you to all the creatures that share our lovely sunny courtyard. It has served us well over the year! Thank you Sun and thank you to our friends from old and far away. Enjoy a few photos, an inadequate record really where one face must represent dozens if you are to get a real sense of the true dimension of Kookaburra's Family.
Chris and Jenny!!
There I am, in your gallery!! How lovely to find myself in your 2010 memory, as you are ensconced in mine!!! Sending friends to you this month, Holli and Jake, as I pack to move ... to Tanzania. Oh My. A brief pause for breath. I am as excited as could be, while also wondering what I might have gotten myself into. And when I will be back in Ecuador???? Much love meanwhile and till we meet again, virtually or physically, k if it be your will choan

You have been the sunshine on a rainy day, and a warm spot on a blustery afternoon. Thank you for all your good food, good friendship and wonderful sense of humor. You have added to our lives as much as we have added to yours.. Thank you..

WE so enjoyed meeting you in September and spending time at the Kookaburra and eating your delicious food. We may well be back this year (unless we end up in Moldova, really).
Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Interesting 2011!
Wendela and Gary Kilmer
