Yes, we’re back home after 8 days visiting family and friends in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Dawn this morning was funny. There was an area of red and orange colors in the sky, but it was about 90 degrees to the right of where the sun was coming up. And because of the heavy cloud cover, we never actually saw the sun rise. All of that was going on behind the layer of clouds.

And the dogs! This was our first in-person sighting of Jake since his grooming adventure. Losing all that fur didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for, well everything, as you’ll see.
