We got up at 6:00, had breakfast, showered, did a little last minute packing and were out the door by 8:00. The drive to LAX was pretty uneventful and we got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Flying on Air France to CDG where we will have a 6 hour layover before … Continue reading Long day of travel

Getting Ready for our Trip to Wales
I've been keeping track of the weather and it looks to be cool by California standards which is just fine by me. Our heat has already started here on the Central Coast. Yesterday was 88°F and the day before was 93°F. Looking forward to spring flowers, mountains and castles. Trying to figure out what to … Continue reading Getting Ready for our Trip to Wales
It’s Spring and Butterflies and Flowers are here
This isn't a travel post but it's so beautiful right now. Butterflies have come to our yard on their annual migration and I had to share a few photos with you all. They seem to love my pink Manzanita shrubs and the Painted Lady and Monarch butterflies have been visiting them for days. Spring is … Continue reading It’s Spring and Butterflies and Flowers are here
Home again, home again
We decided to make a quick trip to the Farmer's Market for some fresh produce and poultry sausages. If you go to the La Brea section of Los Angeles you must visit the Farmer's Market. It is the original Farmer's Market and has been there since 1934. It began as a dairy farm in the … Continue reading Home again, home again

Heading to Los Angeles in spite of my back
My back went out a couple of months ago and I was afraid we would have to scrap our trip to the Petersen Automotive Museum. Fortunately it has subsided enough that I think it will be fine besides, I want to go. Right now we're sitting at the table having breakfast. We don't have to … Continue reading Heading to Los Angeles in spite of my back
Last Day in Fuquay and it’s another gorgeous day
Another wonderful breakfast made by Patty. She's such an awesome person and a great cook. We took another walk around the area, this time heading out through the Fuquay-Varina Mineral Springs Park. Really pretty little park and there are roadways with little traffic and connecting dirt roads to extend your walk. We headed on over … Continue reading Last Day in Fuquay and it’s another gorgeous day
Beautiful Day in Fuquay-Varina
Got up this morning to beautiful blue skies, cooler temps and low humidity. After one of Patty's wonderful breakfasts Chris and I set off on a short walk around the neighborhood. We saw a few limbs down but for the most part people had already cleaned up the worst of it. We saw some great … Continue reading Beautiful Day in Fuquay-Varina
Good Morning Fuquay! It’s Raining
Michael hasn't made it's presence known other than lots of rain. They're predicting high winds but we are far enough away that it shouldn't be too much of an issue...I hope. It's pouring rain right now and the wind is blowing pretty hard. Spending the day sitting in Chris's folks living room staying dry and … Continue reading Good Morning Fuquay! It’s Raining
