California Dreamin'
Aug 29, 2005
This time every year I start longing for Northern California. I can smell eucalyptus & redwood when I close my eyes. Taste my favorite meals, and hear the laughter of loved ones in my ears. It's funny to know what season it is by memories composed entirely from the senses. Wild.
We take off in a couple of days to spend a long weekend with my in-laws. And I couldn't be more excited.
But something important has changed this year. The owner of our favorite restaurant retired this summer. We're hoping that he sold the place to someone who loved it as much as we do, but it just won't be the same. It's a little sadness but I'm hopeful we'll find a new favorite while we're there.
Nonetheless, I can hardly wait! Beautiful California, here we come!
