Awaiting further enlightenment

My time here is getting short, I will be leaving the week of August 25. Bill will be here August 27, then we may hang out a few days, then head for home. This is making me a little sad, and a little happy. I have been away from home for longer than I ever have and I miss Bill and most of my co-workers. It will be difficult to leave Annie's family behind after having them so accessible for three months. Bill always says I am depressed a few days after I leave Napa, this will probably be a bit worse, but I will endure. It was worth it.

Today was kinda hot. Okay, you all in Phoenix won't believe me, but I was all hot and sticky at 92 degrees. I am truly hooked on that 83 degree weather and don't like having to turn the air conditioning on and close up the house. At least, the AC goes off in the evening and I can sit by the open door. Sure can't do that in Phoenix. I took Chloe to the health club for her swimming lesson. This is the first I've been there that there wasn't a cool breeze, and in the shade is nice. Today even in the shade, it was hot. Tess says bet it feels like Phoenix. Not quite.

Annie picked up the girls at lessons, and instead of going home, I headed out to drive through some mobil home parks. I'm not sure how I will get here next year, or how I will be able to be with both my husband and my kids, I am awaiting further enlightenment. So, to help things along, I drove through some parks just to see how they look. Some are pretty clean, but it's not as private as my little place here. Maybe I would make more friends in that environment. Anyway, I drove to Yountville (9 miles) as there is a neat Senior park there. So I decided to stop for something to eat. At a restaurant, not the trailer park. I had a steak dinner which was passable, but not as yummy as I was wanting. I don't much like to eat alone in restaurants, but it wasn't so hard. I sat on the patio and had myself a beer. It's always easier to hear other's conversations when you are quiet yourself. I kept wanting to ask questions, but I stayed quiet.

Then the next exciting thing was buy gas and go through the automatic car wash. I got jet washed, and conditioned!

American Express is going to be displacing some people. I'm awaiting further enlightenment.

I'm going to see what is happening on the Olympics while I'm waiting.
