I feel positively C. Dale Young-esque! I’m sneaking off to California for a few days with G to relax – and possibly check out some neighborhoods for rentals…and I’m even taking Virgin America Airlines! He is such a good advertisement for them. Plus, the tickets were super cheap.
Yes, I think I need a break from backhoes, rain, and temperatures below 50 degrees for a few days…I’m packing skirts and sandals, which I haven’t been able to wear in the Seattle area yet.
Anyway, you guys be good til I get back!
