A driving we will go!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We jumped out of bed, showered, dressed, and headed out the door to Camirillo to visit Mary’s grandkids and another friend of Mary’s.\u00a0 We drove about 200 miles this fine day, sometimes in a very light rain.<\/p>\n

Mary dressed for the occasion!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We’re off like a herd of turtles.<\/p><\/div>\n

We first stopped at Mary’s daughter-in-law’s home.\u00a0 She was working today, so the “kids” wanted to go with us to lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Steve, Diane, and Megan<\/p><\/div>\n

Diane is also a doctor and is quite busy!\u00a0 Steven and Megan were home when we arrived.\u00a0 We talked for a while and then off we went.\u00a0 Steven drove separately as he had an appointment at 2:00 pm.\u00a0 \u00a0We went to “The Lure,” which is a great seafood restaurant just off Highway 101 in Camarillo.<\/p>\n

Lure Fish House is a family-owned restaurant featuring the freshest, sustainably caught seafood from trusted sources.\u00a0 They always strive to serve locally caught seafood, organically grown local produce, and wines from local vineyards whenever possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I went for their cioppino!<\/p><\/div>\n

After lunch, Steven took off to meet with his Dad, and we took Megan home.\u00a0 We stopped by the house and\u00a0then headed to Bonnie’s, just a few miles away!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Bonnie is the daughter of Mary’s college roommate, and they have become excellent friends.<\/p><\/div>\n

We visited for a couple of hours.\u00a0 Bonnie has four little ones; the teenager, Joanna, was happy to join in the conversation.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Their home is in a private, gated community where their 1 1\/2 acres are teeming with barnyard critters, including 26 chickens!<\/p><\/div>\n

We departed Bommie’s at 4:00 pm and spent the next two and a half hours fighting the freeway traffic, arriving home around 6:30 pm.\u00a0 The first thing we did was get into our jammies, grab a glass of wine, and head for the TV room, where we watched a weird series about post-apocalyptic America.<\/p>\n

I checked my iPhone before leaving and got a message from our son Joe.\u00a0 He and the family went to the desert for a few days.\u00a0 The boys had just been on a safari with Dad, attempting to keep up with them!<\/p>\n

\"\"

The family creates wonderful memories in the desert!<\/p><\/div>\n

I checked the computer for emails before going to bed and got a message from Brother Zaitz.\u00a0 He pointed out that he and Mary were on the back cover of the Elkhorn, the monthly magazine of the Santa Ana Elks.<\/p>\n

\"\"

“Yes Mam, Captain, Mam!”<\/p><\/div>\n

We crashed almost immediately.\u00a0 Four and a half hours driving in traffic wore us out!<\/p>\n
