Late Night Catch Up

Just thought I'd write something here.  There is a lot going on right now.  We just spent a week in California with some friends that moved out there about 12 years ago.  They put us up for a week and this was after their daughter had married on Sunday.  We were treated like royalty, or very nearly so. 

California changes like everything does.  If you haven't been there in 9 or 10 years,  you will notice differences.  Part of it may be because you haved changed in that interval.  It seemed a little harder to get to the beach.  It seems about half the cars are Toyotas.  There are not as many old VWs around.  It was quite easy to find a tennis court to play on. I noticed there weren't many bumper stickers on the cars.  This was Orange County so there may be restrictions on that.  The vegetation is still beautiful and the mountains.  The sun and cool breeze are the same.

I was a bit out of sorts for the trip.  Just difficulties in adjusting to change plus a sore mouth that lingered the whole week.

It was fun though.  We did things, saw things, learned a little and had some laughs.  We came back on Saturday. 

Our house is in upheaval because we are preparing for a garage sale.  There was no Sophie to greet us when we returned.  We had her "put down" before we left.  The garden is doing well,  especially the pumpkins.  We had our first tomatoes today.

I sincerely hope that you are healthy and happy.
