A hike on the Washburn trail with Kathy,
Michelle and Eden and Lily
Inches of rain make our dry river bed wet
And street drains to be cleared
Tine on the deck between storms
The elephant seals are birthing on the beach.
The waves from the pier at San Simeon cove
Lots of driftwood washes up on Moonstone Beach
and Santa Rosa creek flows into the sea

3 generations running
Bixby (13), Kelly and Nana
Cozy in the RV...
playing music and games
Restringing the uke

It flooded right after we left.

flooded where our RV is stored in Morro Bay.
We spent a week cleaning the mud out of the storage bays

Camellias blooming in the garden
A lovely visit with my friend Anita.
Cameron, Tina and their family
are enjoying their new house.,
especially the extra room and the fireplaces

at Cameron and Tina's this summer.
Kelly will enjoy the
new space outside her side door.
