Here's what's been going on. I went home.
A soft welcoming blanket of fog. People who knew how to drive safely in lanes, and not stop for NO reason- (because in the U.S. you would get a ticket arrested for being a danger on the road to others and you have a freaking CLUE). Driving was stressless and fun- especially in Fred's car- Sasha. I relished it.
There were California brown Pelicans gently drifting overhead in clean smokeless air - they look like creatures that belong to another time. Glorious.
And sunsets of the awe inspiring kind.
I hung out with our neighbors who have been keeping watch over the casa. And I was grateful for having such kind, generous and caring people in our lives. All of them inspiring- we are the youngens on the street and the folks around us are farther on down the road, but totally awesome.
I took a quick trip to see loved ones in Minnesota. I was happy to see that my parents are looking great and getting better and better- you would never believe their age if you saw them. I admire that they are heading off on new adventures and this next year are venturing over here to visit and we are heading out on safari with them in Botswana. I also popped down to Rochester to visit my sister and her family. She and her hubby have 3 teenagers now- all doing fabulous. Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon quote tag line , " Minnesota where the women are strong, the men are good looking and all the children are above average. "
Can you tell I loved being home? But I missed this guy
he's good reason to cross a globe...but I had some more adventures in between...
