Day VII & VIII -Shopping With Uncle Donn

THE COSTCO EXPRESS — STAND CLEAR!

Took the day off from the blog yesterday because we had Bernie in tow while we shopped for the cocktail party at Costco and Safeway. He wheels the cart like he does a rental car and it was truly an experience. I'm throwing food into the cart and he's taking it out and replacing it with something less expensive.

We are hosting cocktails for the Pac-8 Reunion group tonight at Donn's brother-in-law's place in Alamo, a wonderful home up in the hills near Walnut Creek and Lafayette. The weather is superb, about 75 tonight, and so it should be a good night to be out on the deck.

It will be good to see some of the old gang from my Pac-8 days. They were all good people, fun to work with and very talented. Now, we are all just old, but what the heck.

Spent some time shopping in Walnut Creek yesterday before going to dinner with Bernie and Mike and JJ Henderson, our former neighbors in Lafayette. It's kind of old home week and should be fun before we head off into Northern California for the wine country and Mendocino Coastline. We are really looking forward to Mendocino, which is a place we've always enjoyed. It is just like Big Sur only not as commercial or populated.

the hotel here, Embassy Suites, is very nice and a great place to relax.

The best news yet is that our hanging bags arrived today so we are back to full gear again and don't have to wear the same clothes over and over.

All for now, more on the reunion later (bet that will be exciting for you to follow).....

Happy Trails.
