The California coastline was blocked by fog most of the way north, but this one shining cove revealed itself for my camera. We've stopped the car about halfway up to Big Sur for this shot, all those mountain ranges on the right still to cover.
This is our Earth Mother on the left and her black Mustang. She makes outstanding fajitas and maintains a loving c
uriosity about everything. She nearly has three years of sobriety and is another one "getting It." The shot on the right is our farewell espresso at Gorda with Julia and Joe ready to hit the road home. And home is where the heart is, right? Just be thankful for what you got, and where you go, be blessed by God.
I'm half crazed with the tiredness that follows such a trip but wanted to check in and say we mad
e there and back. We had women's meetings, men's meetings, bonfire meetings, art meetings, decoupage meetings, and sculpting w
ith found objects meeting over the picnic table. On the right is flying Root Man, and he is held up by granite and Flying Root Woman and the breath of its maker, 6-month Julia, on the right.

She has been the joy of the past six months and is on her ninth step. She doesn't even mind when surrounded by old timers and middle timers and people who would could be her mother's age (moi).
We had the usual hodgepodge of AA people from our county. People shared their choice dinners, 
and Joe took up one of his blue-ribbon carrot carrot cakes and his ever-popular scones.

Things I am grateful for today:
Safe travel on a curvaceous road. Short AA speakers who get right to the point of how they stay sober today. The sound a river sings at night. Laughter. Beautiful daughters and aunts who babysite our critters while we're gone. My sobriety today. Espresso. Granite and feldspar. The heat here will be falling 20 degrees tomorrow.
And blogging. I missed my blogger while I was gone
