I'm finishing up 5 days in Mountain View, visiting my daughter Becky, her husband Jay, and 7 year old son Perry. Highlights of the visit included lots of good food, playing Wii with Perry, a walk on the beach at Half Moon Bay, and visiting the Mountain View farmer's market Sunday morning. I used to live in this region of California, and I feel very much at home with the culture and the scenery.
Today my cousins, Melody and Leonie, dropped in at Becky's house. I hadn't seen either of them in almost 40 years. I had thought I had permanently lost touch with that branch of the family, but Melody managed to locate me about 6 months ago via Facebook. Melody, Leonie, Becky, and I spent the whole afternoon catching up, reminiscing about our relatives, and making promises to keep in better touch in the future.
