Well I just got back from Reviera, CA - the town Clark calls home. They've got quite a pad that is complete and decorated. I am most envious of the washer, dryer and dishwasher, the parking place and the beautiful view of the lake. The house is a "doublewide" but Lucy and Clark have managed to make it look and feel like a home with a beautiful fall wreath on the front door and many other cute details. Clark went hunting a couple days ago for duck, so we had some delicious duck for dinner. We went wine tasting and I was surprised to find out the wine there is pretty good. We bought and split a case of wine for $60 - $5/bottle! Clark's town feels a lot like St. Helena 20-30 years ago. It has walnut and peach orchards all over and the smell in the air is a mixture of walnuts and harvest. It smells a lot like Big Tree Rd. actually. The town has a knitting store and a craft store and there is one really good restaurant (that even has sushi!). It took me three hours to get there from San Francisco, but it was worth the trip. The lake they are on is very large - people go wake boarding a water skiing there when it is warm out. If you had a wetsuit, you could be on the water year-round.
Justin is taking the afternoon off and we are about to head out surfing. We haven't been in awhile and it's a beautiful day today. I told him he needs to take more breaks from studying for his sanity! So I am making him take 3 hours off today.
Lydia, I am glad that you are feeling better. Justin's Mom had Carter when she was 46. Can you believe that? Justin says he had to help push his mom when she walked up SF hills because she was so exhausted and drained she couldn't make it up the hills. Lizzie, how was your fondu dinner? Sounded delish! Love everybody
