I have just arrived home (10:45 pm) after going with Rachael to meet a potential apartment-mate in Orange County. This would be a place where Rachael could settle in when she begins law school in August at Chapman University in Orange. The young woman was lovely. She and Rachael could be sisters they look so…

A Kindness Extended to My SLC Family
I am so touched I just want to cry right now. My relatives in Salt Lake City (who are not church goers) went at my urging to St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in downtown SLC today to talk about a funeral for my brother-in-law, E. Ray. He was a former Mormon who converted to the Episcopal…
Ray Agutter In Action
Here is a picture of my brother-in-law, Ray Agutter (in the khaki colored suit), aka “E. Ray” at Sarah and Gregorio’s wedding reception a couple of years ago. This picture encapsulates E. Ray’s fun-living spirit as he dances the night away while surrounded by family and friends who love him. Never mind that Ray had…
Our Day Recapped in Pictures
Here are a few pictures that sum up our day. We were at DFW at 4:30 this morning. Our plane was late and Ray took a nap. Tropical Storm Bill poured rain for quite a while, which was captured in this photo from the plane. We arrived in LA mid-morning. After arriving home and staying…
Flight Advisory, Tropical Storm and the Ranger Game
We are all settled into our hotel room near DFW airport before heading back to LA early in the morning. Our flight is at 6:30 am and we have already received a text from Spirit Airlines issuing a travel advisory. This is related to tropical storm “Bill” that hit the Texas coast and is promising…
Furniture Hauling Day
Today was a furniture moving day. We added another space at Touch of Class Antique mall, which meant that we had to go down to our building (a mid-century Savings and Loan) and fill up two truck loads of furniture and small items. We only had a five block distance to travel which was handy,…
Evening One of Reunion
Ray was sweet and came to Day One of my reunion. I think it’s a universal truth that nothing is more boring for a spouse than his/her partner’s high school reunion. Thank you, husband. Tomorrow, I will return alone. Ray is off to Midlothian to move a second vintage trailer to Sherman for repairs. The…
Texas Weather
I am sitting at my dining room table. A fan is whirring nearby and a train is whistling in the distance. We have opened the windows this evening to air the house and the breeze is blowing the curtains. It is not cool. The current temperature at 11 pm is 83 degrees and the humidity…
We Made It!
We have finally made it to Sherman. We took a circuitous route from DFW since we decided not to pay extra for a Toll Tag. That would have added another $100 to our rental car price and we’re only using toll roads to and from the airport. But, as a result, we ended up getting…
Off to Texas
Heading to Texas tomorrow for my high school reunion this weekend. Looking forward to seeing old friends again. We are up early to take a flight to DFW. I expect it’s going to be very green in North Texas after all that rain. I wonder how the mosquito population is faring. Quite well, I imagine!…
