California dreamin'....

Hello my sisters,
Well, I think it's time I wrote a few lines on the blog regarding Larry and my Calif. trip...seems the blog has been a bit dry lately. Not many posts...whats up with that?? Our trip was wonderful, absolutely wonderful! We spent the night in Detroit the night before because our flight was so early and it took the stress off the long flight. We got free parking tickets from Christy's boss so that helped save a little money. Our flight was good, on time, and we spent the first day vegging. Next day Kathy and Jeff came to Napa, stayed three days, we went thru a part of harvest, learned a lot about wine preps, placed a giant rhino sculpture in Linda and Peters yard and on Sat. Kathy/Jeff flew home and we drove to Santa Barbara. Stayed on the boat three nights..was awesome. We left on weds., the guys took an extra car home to Napa and Lin and I took the coast route with the other car to try and find driftwood along the ocean. Well, we got as far as Big Sur along a cliff dropping down to the ocean when traffic stopped. We were halted because of a fire! We waited for more than an hour before they let us go and we finally made our way toward home. We never did find driftwood! Then the day before we left for home we flew in the little plane to Chico to see Eric! It was great to see him...he looks wonderful and seems to love the area he lives in. It looks as tho he has finally found his niche in life as a firefighter. Then the following day we flew back to Michigan arriving at 12 midnight...drove home and arrived here at 3 something Sunday morning. Wow, were we tired!!
But we hit the floor running and got right back into the groove of things. Wish I were back in Calif. right now especially with this cold weather we are having. Thank you, Linda and Peter for a wonderful 12 days! We miss you two.
We sisters, please do not forget that I love you all and wish everyone well. Keep letters posted on this blog.
Love, Rose
