Now We're Done!..... Well, the Garden Needs Work.

We spent the day painting the porch.

Santa Monica

We're home after a few fun and interesting days in southern Cal.  In spite of the so-so swing music, the Hollywood Bowl was a spectacular sight with its thousands of patrons stacked up the hillside.  We had our picnic dinner before the show in one of the boxes that hold about half the seating.  They have hanging tables and just enough room for 4 chairs (a few have 6).  A couple of days were very hot for Santa Monica and we spent a long time at the beach, eating breakfast, playing in the sand and jumping waves.  While there we saw the smoke of a brush fire and then the planes swooping down to sea to gather up water to drop on the fire.  It seemed to be quickly under control.  This was a repeat of what we had seen from Tim's hillside the day before.  The rest of the time we played with Sydney and Cameron (very cute), went to music class and exercise class and swim class and to the park.

Fun at the lake

Summer is almost over

 
But good memories remain
