Mother's Day in Santa Barbara

After an excellent handbell concert by the three different handbell choirs at First United Methodist in Bakersfield last Sunday, we drove to our campsite and got parked before dark.

It has been an easy week of hosting for we have full-time park aides handling the entry and leaving of campers so we and Al and Anna Philips just cover the route and sell firewood and quarters and answer questions. Howard and Pat also came for a visit to let us know that she is getting to the top of the list for a kidney transplant so decided it wasn't fair to the other hosts and parks to be running back and forth to UCLA for tests, etc on short notice so chose not to come in to work with us just now.

We are taking Sunday and Monday off so had a wonderful day with church and brunch with Renee, J Paul, Brittany and Brooke. Then Harry and I went to the Santa Barbara symphony concert and afterwards met them again at an ocean cafe for supper. We enjoyed an hour sitting watching the ocean and reading the paper while the four of them walked the multi-mile beach from their house to the cafe. The tide got a bit higher than they planned so some legs got wet, but they were in good spirits.

We had 90 degree temps our first two days here but now it has dropped to the upper 60's.--by Anita
