Beautiful Northern California

Today, we experienced Easter brunch at a horse farm and vineyard belonging to the parents of one of Fred's co-workers. There was an Easter egg hunt, mimosas, and the backdrop of the beautiful valley of Napa .


Yesterday, Fred took us for a drive up and down the beautiful coast. Cows were grazing in the mountains to the right and with the ocean to the left, it was truly a moving yet peaceful experience. After the drive, we took our little guy to an aviation museum and both boys had a great time.

The night before, we had an awesome meal at Willis Seafood & Raw Bar in Healdsburg. Here is the line up:
Flash Fried Fresh Calamari with Orange Chili Gremolata
BBQ Oysters
Sauteed Spinach with Meyer Lemon Marmalade
Rosemary Ricotta Fritters with a Simple Lemon Glaze

More of their selections can be found at www.willisseafood.net

Until next time...

The Tickets are Booked!

Wow! I thought the day would never come. We officially are joining Fred in Northern California on April 9! The U haul has been reserved and most all of the packing here in the apartment is complete. I am very excited and so happy to finally join Fred.

Until next time...

House Hunting Take One

Fred awoke early today to drive to the furthest eastern point in Lancaster to view a rental home. How far East you ask? A chicken coop in the backyard, goats and roosters in the neighbor's, and little Taco Bell dogs running after Fred's Jeep East.

The home was beautiful inside and out and sitting on its own acre in the desert made for a take your breath away setting. A Joshua tree in the front yard and the vast Mojave desert for miles that the eye could see offered just enough wind to tickle your ears to tempt you to stay. Between the charming noises of roosters, goats, and dogs, nothing but a peaceful silence uncommon to anyone living in a metropolitan area.

This is how I describe this place. Fred was there, sent a picture to me on my cell, and described what he saw, felt, and heard. We are not renting this house, thus the title "Take One".

See you next time.
