I just said goodbye to Susan...a friend from Ft. Knox. She and her daughters live in San Ramon, California (just outside of San Francisco). We have known each other since 7th and 8th grade respectively...I'm the older sis. Susan is the kind of dear friend who I can be away from for years and time stands still when we connect. She is the kind of friend who will give you the shirt (or warm fuzzy housecoat) off her back...and she is fun, energetic, smart, beautiful, and loving. Her daughters, Kathryn and Erika (twins) are equally as awesome...and now she has a special guy who fits right into any life-situation, Felix (no relation to the cat). And, I can't forget Derby - a Kentucky bred pup that stole our hearts. We enjoyed two days and nights with our friends and had such fun. Thanks guys!!! Love you so much!
Now we are headed into San Francisco and on to Pacifica, California where we will stay for several days, making the daily drive to Palo Alto (Stanford University) for the games. Barbara (Babs) Franklin is back in the states (she is one of my Ankara, Turkey friends) and we will connect later in the week. Babs flew in from Germany, where she is currently stationed as an IRS attorney. Ken Sussell, a pilot who lives and works in paradise (Hawaii) will also be joining us later this week. Ken is also a friend from Ankara. We hope to join up with some other high school friends who live in the area.
Update:
We just arrived at the RV park in Pacifica...and before me is a man flying by, sittin in a chair and being pulled through the air by a kite-like devise. I mean, he just flew by just a few feet in front of me. Now he is twisting and turning all around - I think he must be showing off. It is working - I am impressed. It stays windy here and gets very cold - so I believe there are a lot of "air-related" activities. This guy is nuts! Really ! I will jump out of the RV and get his photo if he comes closer again. San Francisco in the summer is like a cold fall in Indiana...and the night temperatures drop considerably.
Later y'all, Carol and Ken

Thanks for the cowgirl dedication, Carol. I'm finally catching up with all the reading! Love the blog and your photos. Glad we got to chat briefly the other night! I have photo of that lone cypress from 35 years ago! (I'll bet it's made of paper mache' and silk leaves.) love ya, annie
ReplyDeleteLOL...I think you may be right about the lone cypress...it sure looks good from a distance, tho. LOL
ReplyDeleteDave talked us into trying to get into the exclusive clubhouse...and we were actually able to walk inside of the doorway...and quickly a lady walked up and said, "May I help you?" She didn't sound sincere. Hmmmph. We told her we were just looking around. She informed us it was a private clubhouse...and gave us that "get out" look. I took a couple of photos before they called the guards. Okay...no guards, but I did continue to take a couple of photos. Love, C and K
