Sunday November 6, 2016 Capistrano Beach, CA

This morning we had planned to tune into the worship service net cast from Oakey Boulevard.  We got a good picture but the sounded faded in and out.  We were able to hear only every third word or so.  Gerri sent a text but the problem was never resolved.  Even though we weren’t able to enjoy the singing nor follow the message, we were able to worship our Lord in spirit.

We met Todd and his family at Avila’s El Ranchito in Santa Ana for dinner at 3 PM.  This is a restaurant near my mother’s old house that we had enjoyed several times over the years.  I had visited with Todd and his family last month in Long Beach, but it had been quite a long time since Neva and Gerri had seen them.  They brought Gerri flowers for her birthday.


We sat so that we all could talk easily.  Emma and Wyatt have both become talkative and express themselves very well, they both communicate clearly.  Truly a pleasure to be around.  And, the food was good, too.








We parted company in the parking lot.  They headed home to finish packing for a trip to Sacramento for a conference and short vacation.  We headed back toward Capistrano Beach.  We saw the remnants of what had been a beautiful sunset.  We also drove by my mom’s old house on Oak Street.  The only change we could see from the street was the light green paint with white trim.

Back at the time share we played a game of dominoes.  I won.

Tomorrow is our last day here.  We plan to drive up to Crystal Cove in Newport for a little sightseeing and dinner.
