 Good Grief!  May is here already!

Summer's most definitely arrived and we seem to have bypassed Spring altogether! We had a very hot March and now have broken records for the last week of April.  We were getting temperatures in the mid 90's, which is just a wee bit hot for me.

Our next trip is at the end of May to a couple of National Parks in Utah, a state we haven't visited.  We'll drive to Paso Robles, then to Vegas and have 3 days at Zion and Bryce National Parks.  A stopover at Death Valley on the way back. Only 2000 miles!

I've put some on new photos of our trip to Hearst Castle and Yosemite.

We start volunteering at the Mountain Winery soon. Lots of old fogey bands like the Beach Boys but also the likes of David Byrne and Lyle Lovett.  It's a beautiful open-air venue on a hilltop, once owned by Paul Masson, the wine guy.
