Summer in L.A.

  It hasn't been  oppressively hot (yet).  We've been in Griffith Park hiking, usually two or three times per week.  We're fortunate to have Griffith Park literally in our back yard.  (We walk out the back yard, ascend the steep hill, and then we are in the beloved Park.!)

Some mornings we have visitors who stop by our back yard.  I don't mind!  Bambi and friends are always welcome here.

There goes the doe, up the hill of our backyard!

A few weeks ago Gerry's brother and wife, (Allan and Kathy) visited us for a few days.  They live in Decatur, IL.  Our house is a bit of a mess, in flux, you might say.  They stayed with us here one night, then we headed up to the Santa Ynez Valley for a few days.   Wine Tasting, Relaxing, Touring the La Purisima Mission, and gourmet dining.   What more could you ask for, re a two-day getaway?
