the remaking of a kitchen

as we began our way home, we traveled down hwy 101 to san luis obispo to see our dear friends john and julie and their puppies tako and gromit. we had a wonderful time with them, but of course it was way way too short. john took as on the grand tour of the history museum where he is deeply involved and i think he has entice julie to be another volunteer on that list. there was a wonderful display of wedding gowns and photos etc that was very impressive. i took a photo of one saying that seemed to fit david's interests of late.
we got to tour the barn that julie has mentioned so often....the wondrous place with lovely people who spin, knit, dye, felt, quilt and whatever else is possible with textiles and they get to visit and enjoy eachother as they do! i am so jealous!
their friends steve and eleanor invited all of us for hors d'oeuvres one afternoon and we finally delightfully were able to meet them in person! we had a great visit and talked about all the weird connections.
julie and john took as to a river side restaurant on our last night and we enjoyed a wonderful meal there. we also met for breakfast the next day just to prolong our visit a little bit longer! and of course it still wasn't long enough....it never is!
