Lockdown 2021, Part Three
December 2020 – January 2021 Not long after our run out to the Donut Hole and Tio’s Tacos, Kim and Marty invited us to join them at their condo in Solana Beach and without hesitating we said yes. And so, on Thursday the 14th we made the drive down, again a breeze with little or […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Two
December 2020 – January 2021 We parked the car in the dirt lot outside of the gift shop and hiking poles in hand, hit the trail for what would turn out to be an easy four-mile hike through various types of landscape. The first part of the walk took us past a couple of abandoned […]
Lockdown 2021, Part One
December 2020 – January 2021 A couple of weeks after our return from the road trip we drove up to Oakland to help Jessica and Kris move into a two-bedroom apartment they’ve rented in their current building, with Kim and Marty joining the fun. Staying in this building proved to be the best possible option […]
Fall Western States, Part Four
November 2 – 13, 20 With a seven hour drive ahead of us, not terribly long but would take most of the day, we left around 9am for Liberal, Kansas. For most of the drive, our route would traverse a path we’ve covered a number of times in the past while visiting Beverly and Dillon […]
Fall Western States, Part Three
November 2 – 13, 20 Lunch ended with a minor mishap, which was that a glob of secret sauce and fish oil leaked from the sandwich, strategically missing the towel I had spread in my lap (we put together a kit for the car with two sets of silverware, lap towels and wash clothes to […]
Fall Western States, Part One
October 19 – 21, 2020, November 2 – 13, 2020 We returned home from Buellton on Sunday and the very next day drove to Henderson to spend three nights at Kim and Marty’s place along with Jessica, Kris and little Gemma. With one exception, we’d stay close to the house spending quality time together as […]
October Weekends, Part Two
October 16 – 18,2020 Less than a week later we found ourselves driving up to Buellton on Friday for a weekend of bike riding with a group of our riding friends in Los Angeles. Five of us (Heather, Deborah, Cathy, Joanna and myself) met up in the parking lot of Pea Soup Anderson’s Inn before […]
October Weekends, Part One
October 9 – 11, 2020 We’d spend the month of October at home with the exception of two weekends out of town, the highlight of the month being two separate one week visits from Jessica, Kris and Gemma. They’d also spend a couple of weeks in-between with Kim and Marty in Henderson (we’d run there […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Eight
September 9 – 20, 2020 Done with our doctor’s appointments late in the day on Thursday, we lit out for Solana Beach knowing we’d likely miss the dinner hour, so down around San Clemente we pulled off the freeway to eat at a Chik-Fil-A. This is one of those conflicted calls to make as we […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Six
September 9 – 20, 2020 We landed in Henderson at Kim and Marty’s for three nights before we would return home for one day to take care of doctor’s appointments, then meet them at their condo in Solano Beach. Nothing earth shattering would occur while at either place and yet, we’d engage in enough safe […]
