Dickie and I had a great trip back to California on Tuesday of this week. Our US Airways pilot landed the plane without a bump. Dickie didn't even know we were down. That was quite in contrast to our trip to St. Louis a few weeks ago when "crash", the ace at the wheel, did everything but knock the landing gear off the plane when we came in. To be kind, I think it was his "first" landing. We noticed him and the co-pilot checking the tires before we took off!!!
It's good to be back here in foggy northern California. The sun has come out a time or two, but it's our version of winter and sometimes it takes a while for that fog to burn off.
Last night we drove down to Santa Rosa to see the new house that Gretchen and her kids are renting. It's beautiful - a great yard, plenty of room, and close to downtown. Looks like a real winner.
It'll take some time to settle back in here. Plenty of yard work to catch up on, but I'll manage inch by inch. Our neighbor, Jon, kept our front yard in great shape while we were away. I can't thank him enough. What a guy!
We did our morning walk late today. I stayed up last night until 1:30 A.M. fooling with this computer. I get started on things and just can't quit.
Found out this morning that the Sonoma County Library has several copies of the Ben Franklin book I was reading out in NJ. I was less than a third of the way through, so I'm glad to find it again. The book is 1605 pages long, so it's like reading an encyclopedia, but I've enjoyed it, so I'm determined to finish it off. 10/4
