Busy week. Met this lovely lady when she checked me in for my 1st covid shot at the VA clinic in Marina — Jaime Goncalves — her husband is a firefighter and they have followed this blog for a while.
Then went out to lunch at Woody’s, used to be the Golden Tee, at the Monterey Airport so Rock Knocker could watch the planes take off and land.
Had a lovely beet salad. (Do not recommend the clam chowder — way too thin and watery, although plenty of clams.)
And started our trip of 225 miles one way by seeing this at San Carpoforo, Look at the color in that river.

what a wonderful outing
what a grand day all 'round! keep well.
Sometimes a day like this feels like a mini-vacation. Hope so - you've made it seem like it with your photos.
Kate, having only "met" you through this absolutely essential and interesting blog, I've often wondered how I would know you if I ever saw you. Sometime, could you post a photo, sans mask, for those fans of us? Of course, only if you feel comfortable with it. I know many people do not want their personal photo online understandably. Just a human ask. :)
Isn't it nice to'meet' fellow bloggers? Looks like a fun day
There are so many reasons to be happy and you just showed us many. Thank you dear Kate😊.
