ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! It stopped raining about 10ish on Sat. morn and off to the Mission (with my personal guide doncha know ) and what a place it is. It was Monarch Butterfly time as well as just the time of year The Swallows are back. Sara explained that The Swallows don't spend all that much time at the Mission any more, they would rather hang out in the parking lot at the Mall *what are you going to do with kids these days?* This was after a beautiful drive to Dana Point and around town. Back to pick up Don and off on another adventure to Newport Beach and a ferry ride to Balboa Island and a harbor cruise to be peeping (hi Gini) Toms into the homes of the Rich & Famous. The E's are everything we have heard and more. Lady Edwina gave me a lovely wake up call Sat. morn and some pointers on how I should better pack and manage my purse. Edwardo is a total love. Sara & Dons house could be on a tour package of it's own. Thanks to two of the best So Cal guides ever!! Gini, hope you were kidding about my being upset I'm upset with myself for not planning a longer vacation. Great speaking with you Slick & Randi. See you all later. If I can open the window on the plane I'll drop you a care package Phred. "look out below".....

Sounds a wonderful time you had! I'm so pleased.
Did Lady Edwina model any hats?

Laurie, glad to hear that you had such a great time with The E's and Sara and Don. You have been included in a rare treat - a personal tour of the Mission by Sara - and time with one of the nicest couples on Pet Talk. They are gracious hosts - every time!

And isn't Eduardo the sweetest boy? I just love him - and Edwina just makes me smile and smile with the attitude only she could pull off!

[Randi]

I'm glad it stopped raining and you had a wonderful time, but how could you not with Sara, Don and the E's as hosts. I'm sure Sara gave you a great tour at the Mission - isn't it a beautiful place!!

Now, enjoy San Diego!

This is Bob, Laurie's brother... I want to tell you how much I enjoy this web site. It's not only an inspiration but one of the few places I can hear an intelligent conversation. Thank you, I hope you don't mind if I drop in for an occasional eavesdrop. Thanks a lot you guys for being a friend of my sister Laurie ~

[Randi]

Hi Laurie's brother!! It's good to hear from you! Is Laurie behaving - keep an eye on her for us, will you! Nah, you know we love her and tell her we'll be looking forward to a full report on her visit with you and also Sara. Pictures are prolly too much to ask for.

You should join, Bob!

OMG... they're on the boats!! What do the owners of the boats do if they need to go somewhere?? Those sea lions are just huge! (Can you tell I'm not accustomed to big old sea creatures reclining on boats?! ). It looks so cool, but I'd be totally shocked and not knowing what to do!

You ask them politely to leave. If that doesn't work...you push them off (really!) We had watched while the Harbor Patrol had pushed these three off another boat...which was in the process of sinking from the weight of them.

I'd rather have them on our boat
Here we have Canada geese and their s...t is very sticky
