Before I left for Chicago, I drove to Camarillo to spend the night with Elsa and Miguel. Miguel finally agreed to drive us to LAX to catch our flight. Thank you, Miguel!!!
When I arrived, Elsa was anxiously awaiting a phone call from the daughter of a friend of hers. Isabel had been visiting the United States for several months, but she had planned a trip to California before returning to France and wanted to see Elsa. Elsa and her mother had met when Elsa was a student in France. They had kept in touch, and Elsa had visited several times over the years. Isabel finally arrived at the local train station about 8:00 p.m. Elsa and I went to meet her, and what a delightful young woman she is!!! We visited with her until late that evening and briefly in the morning. We were lucky to get to share time together.
When I returned to Southern California, I spent a day with my good friend, Diane in Westlake Village. The next day I moved to Marcine's because her daughter, Lark, was being given a baby shower. I was lucky to meet Marcine's other grandchildren at the same time! This is Mia and her darling daughter, Danine, better known as Dani.
Dani does love her rocking-horse.
Aunt Lark is holding baby Cara!
Uncle Alonzo is enjoying Dani's delight in the
rocking horse.
Lark's shower was a lovely backyard affair. Many
of my former colleagues from Newbury Park High
were present. It was fun to reconnect.
After the shower, I drove to Heather's for a little
Collin time! We played with puzzles, read stories,
and laughed!
I had to leave, so I would be home in time to welcome
Elsa and Miguel. They were dropping by on their way from
Lake Tahoe to their cabin at Huntington Lake. I couldn't
join them at Huntington this year because I was expecting
Denise and Dave in just a couple of days. What a fun-filled
summer I am having!
