Family visits

You can always tell it's summer in Atascadero when two things happen: the Mid-State Fair comes to town, and so does my father.

Dad and Adele arrived yesterday afternoon after driving from Florida to New York to Colorado (two weeks with Sumner and Kristan, those luckys!) and now here. Of course, lots of friends to visit with along the way. I'm just so glad to see them.

Last night we were treated to dinner at a close-by restaurant (best chicken enchiladas in town!) and a visual tour of Dad's 90th birthday party. He brought a photo album with him and gave me all the highlights. He obviously had a wonderful time!

It's not often anymore that the kids are all in town at the same time as Dad and Adele, so we are lucky to have these couple of days together.

Tyler leaves for a long-awaited trip to Europe on Thursday, and I am so happy for him! It's been really, really nice having him here - even if he is totally distracted most of the time. But that's okay - at least he's here in body...
