President's Day....
O and I took a drive in the country, saw lots of blooming almond trees, cows, horses, more cows and goats...it was relaxing. I like to look at cloud formations--not not while I'm driving!! Sometimes the clouds looked like animals or angels or ufo's! What else did I observe...a couple joggers, a woman hitchhiking, a long train that was parked on the track, cemetery, little stores...in the old towns the buildings are short in height and look odd. Were people just shorter 100 years ago? We passed fruit stands not yet opened, a man selling dolls at a country intersection, graffiti on signs, a couple beautiful mansion type houses and a few shacks. Are people living in mansions happier? When we saw bumper to bumper traffic we knew we were home. I sort of would like to live on a farm, miles from my nearest neighbor, but if I win the lottery I'd move to the beach, probably Carmel or close to there. That will never happen, but one can dream. Happy Birthday George and Abe!!! When did George and Abe's birthdays roll into one holiday. Hurray for Italia winning the 4-man relay at the Olympics...Bravo. Bravo!!!
