We drove down to the Eel River today to meet Andy's parents and some family friends that flew in from Michigan. It was the only time that we would get to visit with Bill and Gaye (the family friends) because we are leaving soon for Arkansas, so it was a great opportunity to just relax by the river, have a picnic, and laugh with friends. Bill, Gaye and the parents have been friends for about 30 years...and it was a lot of fun to watch them play. I hope that I get to have all my friends for that long! So we can tell each other the same stories over and over and still laugh at them. Our picnic included bacon (did you think anything else would be acceptable?)...it was in the burgers and on the cornbread. After lunch we sat in the sun on the Eel River and I got to take my first underwater picture with my camera.
The water was so clear and beautiful that you can see pretty far behind me in the picture. The water was perfect and the sun was freakin' hot...until we drove back home into the fog. Now we under the "fog curtain" and it's cold here in Humboldt. Andy and I can't wait to fly to Arkansas and enjoy that warm sunshine. We leave Wednesday!!! And as an added bonus, our friend Mary is coming to stay at our house while we are gone...our kitty is going to be sooooooooo happy.
