HAD A MARVELOUSLY WONDERFUL TIME WITH DD AND HER DH!

Getting ready to leave the house in about 2 hours to go meet up with Peps. On this unusually cool August day.

Liz your evening sound very nice. Not surprised your BIL enjoys hanging out with your DH, he is an easy person to chat with. We also got much better sleep with no drag racing sounds echoing through the neighborhood.

Paula, letting go of your winter clothes! That makes it all the more real you are Florida bound.

I think I've finished up most all of the travel details, having made all the ground transportation reservations, and bought most tours and attraction tickets that needed to be purchased ahead of time because they sell out. Just to make things more fun, I got a new phone yesterday because my old one just wasn't going to cut it anymore. But that did add some more twists. I needed to add the Uber app again. In my hurry, I did not notice there are 2 apps: one to buy rides and one to contract to be a driver. Guess which one I picked? It linked with my account and I was so confused, when it asked if I wanted to earn with Uber, I thought it was some kind of loyalty points program. But then I thought, these are weird questions! Finally figured it out. I am not a technology whiz, that's made clear to me everyday.

Mostly packed now too, just need to add the few things that will be washed this week because they are currently being worn. I put post it notes in my suitcase so I don't forget to add them.

I cut a nice bouquet from my Zinnias. Could be my last one. They might still be blooming when I get back on the 22nd, but it gets less likely because we start losing so much light. And there's always the chance of an early frost.

Friends are posting pictures of their classroom set ups ( all work they're doing unpaid of course). Workshop week starts tomorrow. It is with profound wonder and gratitude that I keep reminding myself, not me. It ain't me babe. And it also feels wondrous I will travel most of September.

Great family visit for you but no AC? That seems odd in that part of California. Though I guess it is dry heat unlike Florida where everything would get moldy with the humidity it there isn't enough airflow.

Your trip is coming quickly. So exciting!

I envy you with the baby holding. I haven't been around any for a long time. The last was my great nephew who is almost 5 now.

LOL, it's in the 60s here and I am wearing a regular weight sweater! I'm having a Northern California Coast experience. I bet the family is so happy to have the two of you there!
