UPDATE

Its been a long time since I have added anything to this blog. Just been busy, have spent a lot of time with my granddaughter. She is the light of my life now. Spent a weekend in Kings burg with her and Rich and Sara, and Rich's family. We went to a neat car show downtown, saw some beautiful cars, including my ultimate dream car, a 56 Chevy Bel Air coupe, two tone cream and salmon.
Was down in L.A. for Easter with Sara Rich and Miss Viv as Mel calls her. Mel and Grant and Ziggy were there along with Bryan. Went to Farmers Market for brunch. Tried to go to Pinks again but couldn't get within a block of it. Have had a horrible cold and bronchial infection for about a week and a half. Just wiped me out, no energy, couldn't sleep, just miserable . Saturday felt much better. Went to office and felt like I accomplished more in a few hours than I had all week.
Later in afternoon was restless and bored, I hadn't done anything in weeks. So I took a drive up to the Chicken Ranch in Jamestown. Spent a few hours watching the people and playing nickel slots, after about an hour and a half I hit a 7 out of 7 on 4 card keno. Made my whole weekend.
Went over to Black oak in Sonora played a few hours and had Breakfast late. The restaurant
in Black oak serves some of the best food of any Indian casino in California. More later

MONTEREY WEEKEND

I had a wonderful weekend in Monterrey with Sara, Rich and the adorable Miss Viv the light of my life. We also had Sara and Rich's best friends Mel, Grant and their son Mark along. Great people, we did the Monterrey Aquarium Saturday and 17 mile drive Sunday. Monterrey Peninsula is one of the prettiest places on earth. Grant made a great statement when we were standing out on Cypress Point watching the surf, sand, clouds and rocks of that stretch of coast, "Its good for the soul"
And that says it all. We stayed at the Ramada Carmel Hill small clean nice hotel, very reasonable . Close to everything, food was excellent the whole weekend. Sara found a great breakfast bistro Saturday morning, Rich found Pizza Sat/night in Pacific Grove. Sunday lunch in Carmel had some of the best Manhattan Clam chowder I've ever ate. Sunday night Rich and Grant found seafood in Pacific Grove. We also found several good bakeries over the weekend. I have posted several pictures on my Flicker so check them out. Monday came way to soon, but I had wonderful weekend with Miss Viv. Especially enjoyed my talks with Sara, we sit and talk about anything and everything.
