This is Sasha.

She's quite the charming little girl, very pleasant and fun. She was kind enough to let me take some pictures of her.
She's the daughter of Don and Suzanne, friends of ours visiting from England. They're here in town to see his family
(he's an ex-pat) and friends here in California. We had dinner tonight with his mom, a very delicious curry. Imagine
coming all the way here to Cali to have a curry!

Most of the shots from dinner tonight were of the snapshot variety, gathered around the table, but this one we took
away from the rest of the family. She sat for several photos and this is the one I liked best.
