Safe and mostly Sound

I'm home again from my weekend visit with Dr. Flo. It was great to see her as always and nice to get out of town for a couple of days. I love her house, the decor. I guess it helps when the hubby is an artist. They also have a beautiful view of L.A. from the patio.

The Super Gumbo Bowl party last night was fun too. When I told their L.A. friends "I'm from Bakersfield" they seemed amused and several of them mentioned a desire to visit Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. I'm pretty sure that's all they think we do around here.

Today Flo and I did all the things I can't do in Bako, like shop at Nordstroms and have lunch at Whole Foods. The drive home was a breeze - it went by really fast. It doesn't even seem like it takes an hour and a half most of the time. I have a small stack of newspapers to go through to see if there is anything worthy of mention, and a large stack of laundry to go through to see if there is anything worthy of wearing. Regrettably, I have no photos to share. I took a bunch of pictures on the trip, but of course, I left my camera there, so the photo tour will have to come later.

I would take the time to come up with a more interesting post, but I have two days of TiVo to catch up on. I have my priorities you know.

Oh yeah – I forgot to mention... I also broke a plant and spilled coffee on her keyboard, so there’s a good chance this will be the last time I go there. Sigh.
