Weekend Haps
We were feeling lots better so Saturday we headed for a dose of family. We actually hadn't seen anyone since Christmas. Several family members made it over to Renee and Tom's for a bit and of course baby Evan was there. At 15 months, stacking and knocking over blocks, I think Ill have to stop calling him a baby :).
Thanks to his mom, Naomi, we got to see Evan playing with these nesting blocks that we brought from Saguaro National Park. He played along with stacking but really only wanted to knock them over.
Son Jim stopped in to say hi and bye. He and his kids, Jim and Mary, plus cousin Hilly left Sunday for a 4 nights cruise out of Ft. Lauderale. Seems it's a Carnival Cruise featuring the Barenaked Ladies band...a favorite of the kids (I have no clue). Today we got text messages that they are out to sea and having a blast.
While they enjoyed 80 degree temps we were all freezing here. A heavy frost devasted SoCal and fruit crops over the weekend and there is no end in sight. In fact snow is in the forecast again for our area. Yikes! So there's very little sitting outside in the sun visiting with neighbors and sipping beer :) We talked to daughter Laura in Montana and she's reallllly cold...below zero temps.
I did get over to the Hemet Library and as a "resident" of Golden Village I got a library card. This is a very nice library.
I picked up another Amy Tan book, The Hundred Secret Senses, and got lost yesterday in the ghosts of Chiangmain.
Today we really needed some exercise so we biked around the park and noticed lots of new residents. In the last few days our street has almost filled up with Canadian snow birds. Hopefully, next week the wind will die down and we'll get some warmer weather so we can meet the neighbors.
