Hi all
Yesterday was a mile marker. I drove for the first time in 16 days! YEA! also went to Whole foods which is like walking into a garden of food, herbs and smells. I really love that place.
Driving was a kick tho i had forgotten how narrow 2 lanes going the same way can be. L A traffic is heavy and looking ahead is like a dance. Cars in and out and some mellow drivers and not so mellow drivers. I am always amazed that i even enjoy the drama of stop and go, watching women putting on makeup and so many on the phone or texting or even reading knowing that to drive in that traffic takes a lot of attention. How do they do that?
Drive time in the evening gets a bit frantic. People want to be home not looking at, well, us. Drivers not understanding i can't go faster than the car in front of me so they push which makes me go slower, a form of road rage too. What i do notice BIG time is how the huge cars are not on the road as before. We saw our first Hummer today and it just looks silly. I saw a "Smart" car on the freeway and that looked silly and very dangerous. Those cars look like gulf cars with a top.
The rain was starting to be way too much, it felt like the RV was shrinking. Too crowded and a bit of testy feelings and responds. We too have had way too much rain and are ready to enjoy the sun. Todays weather is sunny and mild. I haven't checked on flowers blooming all over the Central and So CA and i can bet they are stunning now. if anyone has explored them let me know or send photos please. We love going to see Spring flowers -- poppies are my favorite. Fields and fields of them.
Today i talked with two friends and received many emails -- just when i was feeling forgotten. Thanks guys/gals.
Thank God for cell phones.
oh, BTW. Lorin found an app that allows us to become a wi-fi hot spot with our phones at no charge, and the cell charges as we are on line, perfect. We have a data plan with Verizon and the app. is Pda net -- we are both on line with it now.

We are living without tv but have DVDs that Andy loaned to us. Inception was awesome and i was bragging to Andy that i saw 3 layers -- he said I missed two.. oh. If you have seen it what do you think? Saw Air force One -- was a very good movie and my heart didn't stop pounding for about 20 minutes after the movie stopped. Then last night we saw L A story again. Very sweet movie.. i love sap. We have been getting great feed back so it is a pleasure to be sharing events and ideas. be safe and healthy and happy, love, joy
