Break time!

It's been a crazy busy time with all the logistics of planning - and executing -  the move from Minnesota to California.  I'm discovering that the unpacking process is almost as stressful and time consuming.

My goal was to try and put things away only once - to be methodical about where things should go.
I have failed miserably at that goal.  Oh well - it's not like it has world-wide repercussions - but it is frustrating and draining for me.

I took a much needed break and drove to Las Vegas on July 4th.  My Camry felt like it had wings compared to driving Penske #2 - especially having cruise-control.   I had a great time with my mom and sister Ruthanne and her husband Dan - who were passing through in their motor home on the way to Montana and Canada.

I also had six wonderful relaxing days of kicking back with MRW,  his mom, sister, and Pepper the Prison Kitty.

It was a time for reading, napping, hanging out at Starbucks with the laptops, eating out, cooking in, and getting hooked on watching the Tour de France.  We even seemed to get a bit acclimated to the hot temperatures.  It's weird how moderate 90 degrees feels after a day of 107!

It was so nice to not have all the move-related stuff staring me in the face - as I would have been compelled to keep working.  I'm now back in San Diego - back to reality and finishing what I started.

But....can't go without sharing the latest Las Vegas street-corner food item.  This poor soul was dressed in this get-up with temps over 100 degrees! Whatever he was getting paid - it wasn't enough!

Bye for now...
