We love spending time with grandkids and kids. It’s been fun and active. This is the second time we’ve been here and the novelty has worn off. We have some traditions (Monday’s Fish Tacos from Pangaea, local health food pub/restaurant; any day of the week breakfast at Morning Thunder, local biker cafe). Reading books, Ruthi jumping on trampoline, and other activities, and trips to the toy store with Bodhi (about to be 5 YO) and feeding Karma anything and everything imaginable with Tara (10 months old).
It’s getting cooler sooner than we had hoped and we don’t leave until the 21st. Last year we were here earlier and it was way too hot for Boots (don’t know if it’s ever too hot for Ruthi). So, we came later this year – just can’t seem to get it right (70-80 degrees all day long; cooler nights would be perfect). Boots has been over at the kids’ house making super supper soups for us all to enjoy. Bodhi calls them Boots’ soups. Since we have tried to avoid cold weather, Boots hasn’t had weather or space to make her wonderful soups most of our travels.
While Ruthi has always had creaky knees, her right one is really acting up. She has lots of sharp pains when it is in a certain position seating or standing or walking or whatever. When the pain hits it’s so bad, Ruthi can’t remember what she might have done to cause it. Ruthi went to emergency for some relief but not much beyond ibuprofen to reduce inflammation. She will see an ortho specialist either in Reno or more likely when we get to San Diego (since we will be there 5 months).
