We are getting ready for an excursion down to Santa Barbara next week; I have my annual physical checkup scheduled there, and it will be a chance to visit with siblings and friends. So even though we don't like to be away from our mountain greenery, we will enjoy a little Southern (CA) hospitality, I'm sure. We plan to stop overnight on the way, in Carmel Valley, and will research the venues available there for next July's family monster rally.
John still has too many chores on his List, so I've declared a Month Of Jubilee, for August. We have promised ourselves that during that time, we will do no chores beyond the absolute daily necessities; make no lists; tote no barges, lift no bales. We need to practice the ancient and honored art of Doing Nothing (Guilt-Free). I'll let you know how that goes! But if we can't make ourselves take a real "Stay-cation" this year, it's my opinion that we just need to get away, next summer, for a month. To this end, I'm wondering if anybody would like to trade homes with us for next August? As long as this trade was fairly equal (i.e., the trader lives in a nice place, is reasonably neat and fair with our property, and trusts us with theirs) I think it might be a great idea for all concerned.
Any interest? send me an email, or leave a comment below!

You guys really need doctors closer to your new home. Records can be transferred, and the doctors down the hill seemed really nice and competent. If you don't like them, there seems to be options all along the trail between you and the coast.
Love the August Jubilee idea. I'm sort of doing the same, except I'll probably be working my tail off. I know that doesn't make sense, but I'm taking the month of August "off" as much as I can - I won't be working for at least the first two weeks. Rowan won't be in school.
I am hoping to be able to work on portfolio projects at night during August, as well, but those are more fun than work - I've spent 10 years doing someone else's work, looking forward to being able to do some of my own this and next month.
Just to ease your mind, Souffle, Daddy is going to have his physical with Dr. (Cutie) McGee, this summer. And this will be my last one with my dear SB doctor, I think; I know we can get it all done up in our area, but I just didn't want to bother this year. Our records are all transferred up there with the BC clinic already. As for August, the point is to do what you want to do, rather than what you have to do. We're going to do some "fun" work, as you plan; stuff you like to do is not "work" anyway!
