in the cool cool air of the evening .....

We spent a chunk of the day in the company of a couple who hosted a BBQ to celebrate the momentous occassion(s) of RETIREMENT. It was a rowdy & cheerful group, & though we were not aquainted with many of the 50'ish guests, those who we bumped into or nestled under the shade with, were very friendly & interesting. (food, music, libation- the works). But .....

it's July 2nd and it was inland a bit and it was .... toasty.

so, conversation & yummies aside, along with wanting to check in with Pops- we headed home to cooler climate, just 31 minutes away! We were not disappointed in either. The fog bank was beginning to creep in, & pops had finished his dinner, evening meds, & was ready for a breathing treatment & a movie! The Captain & I talked a bit about how moving from a hot, dry climate to the Bay area- took only a couple of weeks to aclimate to, but if we did the reverse ..... we would be compaining about the heat every single summer! AND AS IF we needed any more reasons to love where we live .... well there you have a major one!
