Tonight we are back home in LA in a quiet house. We have been very busy working and traveling and entertaining for the past several weeks so the calm of our home feels good. We have returned to our guilty pleasure at present: binge watching older television series. Right now we are watching the 1st…

Last Night in Ojai
We have relinquished the new Airstream to Sarah, Gregorio and Luna who arrived here this evening. We are back in the Spartan Manor and I am writing this by candlelight. We figured our pregnant daughter trumps our need for modern conveniences; besides, we want to encourage our kids to come up to the orange grove…
Ojai for Work and Play
Today our Texas friends headed back to the Lone Star State. We enjoyed them very much and are so appreciative they were willing to bring out our restored Airstream. Thank you, Scott and Amy Ellis (and daughters) for making the very long trek with a 33 foot trailer. Also, much thanks to master craftsmen, Darrah…
Hollywood Tonight
Tonight we headed to Hollywood with our Texas guests. We went to the El Capitan movie theater, a restored old movie house of the first order, to see Inside Out, complete with a pre-movie stage show. This is the only theater I’ve ever visited where they have dancers who do a show that augments the…
Airstream in Place
We are still up in Ojai, heading down to LA tomorrow. Our Texas friends are still here and we are enjoying time here and Ventura together. Very relaxed and comfortable. The Airstream is nestled between two orange trees, a distance away from the Spartan Manor and the fire pit. The good news is that its…

We spent today with our Texas friends, Scott and Amy Ellis and their three daughters, as we celebrated the Fourth of July together. We went down to the Ventura Street Fair in the morning, ate lunch at Ranch House BBQ, then headed to the beach, where the girls played in the water despite windy and…
Texas Neighbors Visit Ojai
Driving in, pulling our Airstream all the way from Texas. The Ellis Family on their Western Adventure. Our neighbors from Texas graciously offered to deliver our Airstream to us here is Ojai. This is the one we bought several months back in Texas and took to Sherman for a make-over. We are delighted…
Baby #2 On His Way
We are pleased to relay the news that our daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Gregorio, are expecting another child, a son, due in January, 2016. This will be Luna’s brother and there should be about 2 3/4 years between them. Sarah has just reached the end of her first trimester. She is still suffering from…
Heading Home
We are headed back to CA after a very sweet time with our Utah family. The memorial service for my brother-in-law was lovely; the rest of the time just being together was even better. Now we are in Mesquite, NV and I am snuggled up with daughter Rachael in a Holiday Inn Express with Sarah…
