Nature Calls

As I awakened to the sounds of a couple of owls...hooting nearby...the awesome sounds of being in the wild, Wild West...well, in the countryside...these magnificent hills of Montecito...the kids compound is a forest ladened piece of earth...so so different from our urban, high rise living...now 16+ years...this is a great place to raise their kids...and I probably can’t put it into words, the beauty...

The Amtrak ride was so settling...to sit back, and cruise thru LA is divine...in lieu of white knuckle driving a rig in the 405...so nice to have this service back up and running...as it shuttered for awhile, due to a mountain slide...6 hours, but well worth it...they treat you so well...I love the sites, too...BTW, so few homeless by the tracks, like before...

Was informed that those sounds are NOT owls, but a bird that sits on the telephone lines...they make the same sounds...

The grand kids have grown so...much!…baby Cas is walking now...almost 1 yr old...make that RUNNING....Cy is talking like a magpie...man, life is so cool...

So today, we go to open houses...searching?…so spendy here, tho....we are on a fixed income...have I told you that?...

News...trump lives longer, minus the hammer...speaks in Iowa to a very happy to see him crowd...go figure...these people must be full fledged loonies, er, Magas...they get what they deserve...

The Friars in a stomp...Musgrove again...we score 7...we win these games...now, can we do it again?…the Beach Boys...

Off we go...
