road trip
I am leaving this stifling hot valley for an annual road trip that I take with my daughter Angela. We have missed the last 2 years because of bad health. We changed the time of year and it also happens to be her 23rd birthday. So, we will be doing all kinds of celebrating.
I will be gone from blogger for 1 week, starting tomorrow...yep, I'm even leaving my computer home and I never do that! She will have my full attention 100% of the time. I will have my camera and plan on taking loads of pictures, yes, I'll even ask a stranger or two, to snap the both of us :)
Where are we going?...Monterey, California! The ocean is calling, with clam chowder in bread bowls (yum) outdoor boutiques and plenty of antique shopping. We love to eat, so the food is a big part of the trip and Monterey has some of the best restaurants around.
Angela recently injured her foot while running/jogging, so she will be dragging the famous Darth Vader 'Das Boot' around. Ha! She will finally be walking at a pace I can keep up with ;) We are taking it slow, savoring this blessed time that we have been given and I look forward to catching up on all of you at my return.
Have a wonderful week...hugs to you all,
be safe, angels on your pillow,

How wonderful.
Lucky daughter. Lucky mom.
We didn't make it down as far as Monterey when we were out; that's a good excuse to return!
Wishing you safe travels and hope that Angie's foot is back to normal by the time you come back.
Have a wonderful time sweetness!
Enjoy!
Sounds Purrrrrrrrrrrfect
Have a happy birthday Angela and a wonderful time with your mom.
Darlene,
Enjoy, relax and have fun. :)

Bon Voyage!
We were in Monterey in May. You can see some of our pics herebr/>
I look forward to seeing your pics.
I'm so glad for your week with your daughter--even with das boot--and I'll be praying for you good health the whole time. count on it.
What fun it will be for the two of you to have mother daughter time. It is so much fun enjoying these young women now as not only daughters but such good friends.
I pray that you will both be able to bask in the memories! Enjoy :)
Oh Yummy Darlene...you and Angela are going to have a blast! What a great thing that you are healthy enough this year to go....I'm so thrilled. Have fun, and eat for me too.
