California trip

Travel log - date Saturday June 12, 2010

I arrived at San Luis Obispo on Thursday afternoon and headed to Morro Bay (12 miles) to Ginie's beach house. It is adorable. I got settled in and then took a drive around to re-familiarize myself with the town. I headed back to SLO for the weekly Farmer's Market. I listened to good entertainment, did some people watching, and had a bowl of clam chowder. I also visited the Frontier Natural Market that Jim and I loved last time we visited SLO. The store was packed and I walked out and didn't buy anything. I need to visit again during the day when it should be less crowded. I went back to Morro Bay and watched the sun go down at Morro Rock while I ate a piece of Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble pie from the Farmer's Market.

Friday I went adventuring since it was cool weather. I bought a couple of jackets at the fun Morro Bay thrift store because I didn't pack warm enough. I traveled about 5 miles south of Morro Bay to Los Osos (Osos = bear). A long time ago, the people of Monterey were starving, so the men came to the Los Osos valley and kille a bunch or bears and took the meat back to the people in Monterey and they survived. Anyway - cute town. I ate at the grill in the liquor store that was highly recommended by the Rite-Aid clerk. Great food at inexpensive price. I drove to see the natural history museum, accross from a beautiful state golf course. Ivisited a bird preseve - thus Rite-Aid to buy binoculars. Beautiful - the birds, not Rite-Aid.

June 5th with family

The family all traveled to Manti to be with Arti when she went through the temple for the first time. I loved having the whole family (minus 3 grankids) in the temple together. We took pics on temple hill. Jessica Despain did a great job. We had dinner at the Brown's afterwards. We all handled our first family outing since I filed for divorce very well.

Graduation Day

Update

Now that I have filed the divorce papers and Jim has moved all of his stuff out, I am doing much better. Side benefit - I've lost a little weight. My mom and dad are taking Bella, with the agreement I can have her back when I am ready. I'm looking forward a Saturday full of home organization - and I wish you all a productive and warm weekend. :)

Please follow me

I had to get rid of my Comcast bill so no more internet at home - and no facebook. I want all my friends and family to know Jim moved out and I am filing for a divorce. I am not in great shape, but taking it day by day. I need to find a home for my dog- Bella - if anyone is interested, please let me know. She comes with some strings attached -
