Ca-li-for-nia, here I come!
I'd love to post photos, but I don't have any and can't find one that will download to here. You'll just have to picture it in your head!
We have been planning to have a get-away from the 17-26th of April for awhile. Den needs to take some vacation time, and one of our cars needs to get some body work done for a couple of weeks. We did think about Florida, but lately Will has been talking a lot about getting a job in California. We've been looking at maps of the state and different cities. It gave us the California bug. That and meeting up with various and sundry cousins on Facebook that I haven't seen for decades and never met they're families.
We found AMAZING ticket prices flying in to San Diego and flying out of San Francisco. And we can drop the car off in San Francisco. Of course, that makes it about the same price as the airline tickets, but it's still good.
I've never been west. I've been as far as York, Nebraska and Rapid City, South Dakota. I think that's it. Of course, we've been all over east and to Europe, but we've never done the great West. So this will be a start. I'm really hoping that we can meet up with family and friends as well as enjoy the countryside. Beaches. San Francisco. It's going to take some planning...
Now let's see if I can get my aunt and uncle on the phone....!

Rate My Space
HGTV has a program where people can send in photos and others give ideas on what to do with that room. Well, here's a good one for ya! This is MOST of the stuff acquired by my sons in the past couple of years. That far couch we bought in Scotland when Will was born. Time to get rid of it!
I'm getting rid of the bed, the futon (in front of the upright foosball table), the couch, a chair that goes with the couch, the foosball table and a coffee table not in the photo. THEN maybe I can figure out what to do with the space.
In the meantime, I have to look at this mess. Believe me, it's pretty well organized compared to a week or so ago!

Springtime and Resurrection
We've had temperatures in the 70's and 80's all week this week and the plants are bursting with new life!
Photos from death to LIFE!
