Welcome back and happy Tuesday. We had a great fall week last week and a wonderful weekend up north in Humboldt county visiting Justin. Looks like this week will be just as nice. Gotta love this time of year.
Here are last week's pictures:
Fall colors from dawn to dusk--not a bad way to spend the day. That's sunrise over the Davis campus at work and a turning leaf found in the park while walking the dog at sunset.
Cool fall afternoons are perfect for making pumpkin bread. Brandon helped me make these. We'll be taking a couple loaves to Justin in a few days. It sure smells good in here.
No! Humboldt county was the first to have their power shut off by PG&E to help protect fires in the windy weather across northern California. They say it could be off for 1-5 days so Justin's school had to cancel family weekend which is a huge bummer. What a mess PG&E has made. Maybe these new pumpkins will help cheer me up. Love the texture of the sweater one.
Good news--Humboldt county got their power back this morning. Thank goodness that was only 30hrs for them and our hotel is operational again so even though the school events are cancelled we can still visit our boy. Now Brandon and I can make brownies to take to Justin like we planned before all this craziness started. Brandon was not into pictures today even though we agreed he could lick the bowl if I got a picture. Ha! I got 3 --LOL! Also Justin wants to be this detective guy for Halloween and asked me a few days ago to help him find a similar pea coat. Amazon for the win-I think this one will do and now I can hand deliver it to him. We're headed out tomorrow!
After a long 6 hr drive John and I made it to Humboldt State in Arcata to visit Justin. We arrived just in time for dinner and then decided to take in a movie that Justin has been wanting to see. It's so great to be here with him and see how well he's doing. It's been a long 2 months.
John has never seen the campus or surroundings so Justin gave us a tour of the buildings he has classes in, the community forest steps from campus to hike in, and one of the many local beach areas to have fun in. That redwood forest is where Endore scenes for Return of the Jedi were filmed which is pretty cool. After a full morning we grabbed lunch, said our goodbyes, and then drove back home. It was a short and sweet but totally worth it trip.
We're back home and back to reality. It's time to get some laundry done and enjoy our furry friends. Brandon did a great job taking care of them while we were gone but they missed their real parents.
OK--all done! Hope to see you again next week.
So glad you got to visit Justin! That campus looks amazing!
