We
have a date to meet Steph and Maureen Betita at the harbor today for lunch at
Aldo’s. Steph
and Roy worked together when we lived here, and that’s when
Maureen and I met. Maureen is a writer of sci-fi romance fiction and a truly creative and fun person. We keep in touch
on Facebook, but can’t wait to see
them again.
The
day was perfect. Sunny, a slight breeze keeping things cool at the harbor, and
under a big umbrella we had a great time talking, reminiscing, laughing, and
had a great lunch. Could have stayed the rest of the day, but alas things to do
for everyone. They frequent Sacramento
When
we got home, Iris said that they had invited some of the OAEC home schooling families over to get together before we left. This is such a treat being with 
such fantastic people and I love seeing them again. Donna came with Bella and Cassandra
(whom I didn’t even recognize and had to be told who she was), Patty and Mike came, and we were
joined by Mary and Darren Luther a little late but
they were so wonderful to come since they had just gotten home that afternoon
from an Alaskan cruise and had tons of things to do and needed to rest. I’m
glad they weren’t practical and came to see us.

We ate outside on the back porch, with lots of sharing and laughter, played Cornhole (have got
to get one of those when we get home…fun and even
there
showed up. The Luther boys, Connor and Caleb; Patty and Mike’s Dylan; Cassandra
was already there; and so were Nick and Ty since they live there. Okay, I am official older than dirt…these
were all tow headed little children when I left, and they are all handsome and
beautiful young adults now, doing their own thing, have their own lives,
etc. It was wonderful and sad at the
same time seeing them all.
What a fabulous stay we've had, and I must say the best part was the people as usual. This trip is becoming more and more about the renewal of 
friendships than about lighthouses or loos (
