Monday in Sacramento. Michael and Amanda are both off toe work, Michael as the Ladder Guy and Amanda making desserts at Bennett's Bakery. Saturday I rode to San Francisco with Michael to a day touristing in the city. It was Fleet Week, with a huge aerial display by the Blue Angels, tall ship sailby and etc. I mostly walked up and down the Embarcadero, admired the gulls and pelicans, and visited the Farmers Market.

This evening we will have dinner with Kent and Terrill, old friends from Mini days whi live in nearby Carmichael.

The photo I am attaaching is actually of Yosemite Falls, which has next to no water in it right now. I'm trying to post Bridalveil falls as well. Also of El Bandido, who is a rescue kitten Michael and Amanda rescued from the engine compartment of their neighbor's Honda. He has a high cute factor, has ben vet-checked for health and needs a new home. I will deliver anywhere west of New Mexico to anyone who provide a great home. I want him myself, but I already have lotsa cats.

I will plan to leave Monday next 9or Tuesday) and plan to wander down the coast to Salinas, Monterey, down Coast Route 1 to San Luis Obispo, visiting the occasional Mission along the way. The east-ish, up Kings Canyon to look at sequoias (and camp, maybe) east across Death Valley in the cool season and finally to pick up Interstate 40 to go home. It's a long wandering, but I may not come this way again .....

Love to all from Gramma V.

P.S. This machine loads slowly, so I'm only including one photo. Bye now.
