OK, I'm coming up for air to share the fun with relatives and friends in a non-Facebook venue. Now I don't feel so exposed 'cause I'm too shy and self-conscious to post anything other than photos on Facebook, it's like talking in front of class only worse. I'll try and coax Molly and Debbie into this little world too. What am I reading? Eating? Dreaming? Had a fine walk with Chris and Becky this afternoon exploring the "new & improved" Napa. I like to pretend I'm from another country and view the Napa Valley with outsider eyes. OK, I have to admit this is not a place that would beckon me if I didn't have relatives in the area. Too much contrived tourist based economy (eat this! buy me!) and not enough open space/water to explore. We seem to stumble on all the hidden trails and back alleys wherever we go, not to mention local breweries. I'll have to finish this on my other computer (with all the jpeg files) to add pictures of the wanderings.
No cats left, just the giant feeder goldfish in the backyard pond and our resident towhees, blue jays and whatever critters are eating the tomatoes. (mammals).
