sunshine and luxury
Susan's home in Davis was much like a 5 Star resort stay for me as she cooked three healthy meals a day and I swam and enjoyed the warm weather and total relaxation. Our early-to-bed, early-to-rise schedules meshed perfectly and we talked non-stop about everything and nothing. Driver Caesar took me to/fro and yes, I could easily get used to luxury living. Fogged in here with fireplace and cat this morning and that works just fine too.

going swimming
This morning I'm heading to Davis to visit my friend Susan ~ leaving the fog for some warm weather and I know that you are admiring my swim cap, as well you should. I'm not taking my MsBook Air so we all get a day or two off. See you Monday morning with a glowing report, or so I hope.

and from Australia...
Thanks to Terri for recommending The Airport Chaplain on the Flix®. This warm and touching series features Hugo Weaving as the busy religious guy who handles all sorts of airport emergencies in unusual ways. I am hooked. I love the diversity of the employees and the travelers from all over the world.

my recliner, my tv
So pleased to welcome back Slow Horses last night. Then some Widow's Bay and all was a-ok after a rather lazy get-sort-of-organized-recovery Tuesday. Cozy fireplace this morning and more catch-up today and tomorrow. Do not underestimate contentment.

home to the Emmy's
My plane was delayed yesterday so I barely made it home in time to catch this star-studded show and of course Annabelle was beside herself: first with disdain and then with love. So glad I missed the HEAT wave and so thankful to be back where I belong for a few days. Heading up to Davis on Friday and will fill you in after I do 14 loads of laundry.

heading home today
Midsummer is a great fan favorite and very well done here. I loved the staging. It's getting chilly here, time to head back to my foggy city. Dinner again this year at Thai Pepper, sitting outside by the Creek, under a heat lamp, of course. I'm flying home from Medford because John and Mary are heading up to Portland for a wedding. I will check in tomorrow with a cat on my lap. Yay!

we met the star!
Early morning coffee with Victoria, daughter of our friends Gini and Philipp, who plays the lead role in Come From Away. That's her one year old, Wesley, so her life is busy with both the stage and motherhood careers. Then home and another walk and lunch outside at Louie's where we go every year. I was sort of dreading Dracula last night at the Oregon Cabaret dinner theater, but it was really hilarious and we laughed for a few happy hours. Today is our final full day, home tomorrow. Ready.
