sun, sun, sun

I returned from J,R,&and A's this past week.  I can't even go there without having flight issues.  Geeze!!!  Oh well, the beautiful blue skies made up for it.  It was absolutely perfect weather and I soaked up as much vitamin D as I could.  It's a good thing too, because all it has done here since I returned is RAIN.  It feels strange to have a sunburn while it is pouring water from the sky.  

I miss my daughter already.  I had such a good time.  I learned all kinds of card games which I haven't played since returning.   We even squeezed in a game of Scrabble which I did get to play the other day with G.  We hiked the mountains in the area every morning taking A for a walk, and up to the shrine.  I learned how to tye-dye and brought back some wonderful specimens.  I watched J make mayonaise, R make sprouts, and helped make peanut butter.  The best part was meeting their friends.  It is a funky little town filled with wonderful people.  Meeting R's mom was great!  We both like the Beatles and concerts.  We had fun and isn't that what vacations are all about?
