This holiday weekend was a teaser of good things to come. High winds kept us stationary the first day but on Friday we headed to the Delta where, almost a year ago, plans crystallized to sell and go. Last year we enjoyed the company of strangers; this time the trip was rich with long-time good friends. Judi came from Sacramento on Saturday … Rodger from Marin on Sunday. We biked, walked, bird-watched, paddled, visited, and ate Steve’s good cooking. It was perfect.

We head “home” to Watsonville this afternoon. It’s back to work tomorrow for me but only for three more weeks. Oh my, we are really going to do this!
