Wednesday

Good morning!


Yesterday we spent the day driving up the 5 to Concord. So, greetings from the Bay Area! That's a misnomer though. It's really, greetings from the Sacramento Delta, for that's our weather here in Concord.  It was 100 degrees yesterday coming up through the Central Valley, well, over the Grapevine...and about the same here I guess. Ben's garden is doing fine. His artichokes are huge. We will have some for dinner.


It's bright, beautiful and bushy-tailed up here.  I see little sign of the fabled depression anywhere. I have the feeling that it's a private, secret, personal kind of depression where folks are keeping up a happy face as they struggle against a swamping economy...Lord preserve us.


We have errands to do this morning so guess I'd better get onto them.  I am glad we came. Ben can use a little help although he does not feel too bad thankx to the medicine they gave him for pain. We'll try to organize a few things, do a little garden work, and prepare some food before we take off.  We'll be here perhaps a week unless he sends us packing.  Hasta manana...YAZZZYBEL
