Sounds of Silence echoed throughout the interweb.
We, Barry and I have been remiss. No, that’s not it. We have been unfaithful . . .
hmmmm. busy . . . uh nonchalant . . . lackadaisical?
Alright, no excuses . . . . . My precious husband and I have been sluggish, indolent posters.
Are you satisfied?
Since the last post, much has transpired, yet we have subconsciously chosen not to share it via posts with any lone human who may have been curious about our lives.
Saratoga, that’s where I left you.
Our beautiful, much-beloved Airstream sits brightly parked in the driveway of our rental home here in Santa Clara/San Jose. (We live on the border of the two cities. Google maps show us in San Jose while paper maps show Santa Clara) To further confuse, the Post Office sees San Jose while we use only Santa Clara Utilities! Go figure. Check out Google’s hybrid to see areal views of our home on Brookside Ave, San Jose, California. We are surrounded by city, malls, highways and tons of good food. An hour to San Francisco, 40 minutes to my adored Pacific Ocean, surrounded by mountain ranges and only a few hours to ski resorts, 6 miles from my brother, 45 minutes from my beautiful sister, 11/2 hour from Barry’s mom, 40 minutes to my mommy, sweet brother-in-law, Kevin lives a few miles away and other relatives are not far.
Life is pretty good! As long as our Awesome God has us here, we shall try to enjoy! LOL
Since our arrival here:
Barry has begun, enjoyed, been challenged by a new job. Then decide he wanted to move on from there and after 3 months has taken another position (his last day was yesterday!).
We’ve been back out to Texas for our dear, dear friend (adopted son’s) wedding, which was beautiful.
I did a marathon painting of murals back in Texas. Six church classrooms in four days with the help of a friend.
We went to KABOOM with brother John and Joe
Went to The Asparagus Festival with a crowd of relatives and friends.
Fabulous Nicole has come to visit.
My sister has spent a few weekends with me and we have painted the town red!
My mom and I have a standing Friday date and I LOVE it!
We protected a nest of sparrow babies in our eves and they are the funniest looking creatures.
Our yard is filled with fruit trees bearing loads of peaches and plums. YUMMY!
Our avacado tree (Barry and Dane’s dream tree) has begun bearing fruit.
I have filled the house with roses and other flowers from the garden on a daily basis (something I always dreamed of)
Barry and I have taken up dancing lessons.
There you have it! There are more boring details, but I’ll stop here. We are fixin’ to take the “Stream” out for its first run since we parked it in March. Yippee! Happy Trails! Before Barry starts his new job, we’ll go to Paso Robles Wine Country RV Park for the coming week and relax a bit. From this central point, hopefully we’ll head to the coast for day trips and tour the cute town of Paso Robles. I am sure there will be tales to tell!
bye all!
