I'm Back - and on the Road to Zion

Wow, it's been over four months since I last updated this blog. I've actually written more on Pond Ponderings, and of course the CROP Hunger Walk needed (and needs) updating. I think Facebook is the biggest culprit - it so much easier to write one sentence and upload a few pictures. So I'm back with loads of flowers, fish, trips to visit Sam & Jenn, special occasions, and Bob updates to catch up with. This is the day after a wonderful, fun, sunny Memorial Day Weekend. I had to work Saturday, but Friday, Sunday, and Monday were great. Sam & Jenn came down Sunday evening and yesterday was the annual UCLA Reggae Festival. I stayed up late last night putting videos on YouTube and here is my favorite:

A Wedding and Three Concerts

Last week came and went but left me with lots of great memories, images, and melodies in my head. We spent the first half of the Memorial Day weekend in San Luis Obispo and celebrated love, marriage, family, and friends at Holly & Chris's wedding. Sam and Jenn came down from Tahoe and the four of us stayed in a suite together.

We all (Doug included) drove back to Ventura for a night at home. Tom helped me finish the pond by doing the more detailed digging and we put the liner down the next morning. (More about that in another posting.) We spent Monday at the UCLA Reggae Festival and had a great time with the all the sounds and sights of the day.

Two dress rehearsals later, we joined the Cal State University Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra (CHICO) and the CSUCI choir for two performances of Ralph Vaughn Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem. We performed at the Camarillo Community Church on Friday night and at our First United Methodist Church in Ventura on Sunday afternoon. We got to enjoy Mariam and CHICO perform Rhapsody in Blue twice!
