December 6th

Today was for Julie.  I waited at home until she called which was exactly when I was ready so all worked out perfectly.  I'm so grateful to Pam for letting me use her gps since mine won't update for California.  

I was on my way.  I couldn't get my iPhone to play through the tape player.  Julie had explained it and I still couldn't get it to work. I listened with my speaker but knew I'd get Julie to show me one more time.  It was a smooth ride into Alameda.  I'm so glad I have a gps and it became easier being able to get into the appropriate lane when needed.  It's quite a trick up here.  You could be going to never never land without realizing it.

Julie was on the porch when I arrived and feeling better than she had.  I was so glad.  It was so nice sitting out side and it felt so good to feel warm air.  Soon though there were people down below and a mulch trailer which looked like they were going to take down a tree.  Sure enough a large tree next to Julie's house was being taken down to the roof top.  It was then that I noticed on the other side Julie's huge lemon tree.  Well the tree wasn't huge but the lemons are larger than grapefruit.  I was so amazed I had to take a picture.

 

We went inside when the noise got too much and soon Julie was tired and we decided to take a nap.  I do love those naps though I got hot and opened the windows so it was quite noisy.  I didn't get much sleep but it was a nice rest.  I was glad Julie went to her room and slept well.

Julie got up and we watched some Netflex shows and enjoyed talking.  It was so great being with Julie and spending time with her.  What a wonderful gift of being with her.

Around 8 pm I was tired and knew I needed to travel all the way back to Vallejo so ended my time with Julie.  Mason was on his way home too so knew Julie wouldn't be alone long.  I did find out how to listen to my phone so I can now enjoy my audio books too.  There was only one slow up so the trip went quickly.  

It was great to have Pam at home and I struggled to stay up until 10, well it was really 9:50 and I was off to bed.

The end of another wonderful day.
