So Julie came up to the mountains yesterday morning, bringing Farm Market treasures (blackberries to die for, oh yum!) and we had coffee and cinnamon loaf, and took a lot of photos of our work-in-progress here at the cottage -- and for Teri, lots of horticultural shots which I will leave her to label for us. It was a glorious, bright day, with a cool breeze; and we girls went to lunch at Rocky's Cafe, one of the many little munch-out spots tucked away under the redwoods up here, before she returned to foggy Seascape.
This may not sound like a big deal to you, dear readers: but all I can say is that it was, for me. The sheer luxury of having leisure time to spend with one of my beloved kids is so far the Number One benefit of being retired at last.

Indeed, it was a perfectly lovely day; the house looks great and you and John look so happy, and so relaxed.
Though I've lived in the shadow of the Santa Cruz mountains for over 20 years, I've never really spent much time up there, and now seeing them through your eyes, it's amazing. Such a perfect place for you to live.
But you forgot (conveniently?) to mention the cake at the end of the day...
SShhhh! I don't want John to know there's half of it left in the freezer!
