Still Day 10 - One Day till departure

Well, let me clarify this ... today or tonite is Saturday night.  So that means one more day, Sunday, till I leave Cambria on Monday, July 4.

But I'm not leaving the States till July 5.

So if you've heard the scare about July 4 departures from LAX, that doesn't pertain to me.  I'm leaving on July 5 from LAX.  No fear here.  I'm blessed. Always have been.

My only fear is having everything out of the house and garages by tomorrow night.  Truly.  I'm working against time, that's my only thought, only tomorrow to accomplish all I need to be able to leave on Monday morning.  AND that is scary at this point.  It's making me nervous.

Today I had a wonderful time at the Authors Event and afterwards with my lady friends (Babs, Linda, Barbara and Lucille) .... and then later I met with other friends to bid farewell to ... Dinah and Christopher Brazelton and Giovanni and Viv at the Harmony Cafe at the Pewter Plough ... had a great evening with them too.

So here I am at home once again, and will reluctantly give up the ghost although I am not ready to go to sleep ... will most certainly watch a few episodes of the latest Spanish Series I'm watching on Netflix ... "Velvet" ... love it!

I must say I enjoyed talking to many Cambria-ites today ... and two especially ... Rick Bruce (the Magic Wizard of Cambria) and Steve Provost (the editor of the Cambrian Newspaper and author of non-fiction and fiction) ... highlights of my day.   Thank you, guys!

You know, I'll miss my new liaisons in Cambria ... including Consuelo and the gals of the Historical Society, and all the new connections I've made.  Only makes me more eager to come back at the end of the year and get involved with the community.  Looking forward to that.

So here we are ... almost departure time ... can't believe it!  BUT I have one more day of god awful crap to go through.  Sorry if I'm offending ... but it is the last of the stuff I've been putting off till now.  No getting around it.  Those of you who know what I'm talking about, yes it's the last of the sorting and packing.
So ... tomorrow night we'll see what I'll be writing on this blog ... I'm eager to see it myself.  lol lol lol

Lovely Rainy Morning - Afternoon Clear

This morning started out to be clear in some places, cloudy in others.  At least that's what it was when I woke up and checked the weather reports.  But by the time I left for the cafe down the lane it was beginning to rain. Didn't rain long though. It was nice and cool.  Perfect for me. So I took a stroll next door to the cafe, after having a meal, to the kiddies park. There's a miniature golf range, a sea life display, a child's train that goes from the park to the Town Center along the promenade, adults ride it too.  And some other things ... A sand park, a stream, looks great for people with children.  I  couldn't believe how many people were there at 10 a.m.  Loads of them, literally, bus loads.  On a Wednesday. This is a family town, it is.  And dogs. Tons of them both - children and dogs.  I saw one cat today when I went to the cafe ... A beautiful calico, she/he let me pet her/him.  It had been raining and she was wet. T...

Day 0 - Santa Maria CA

Spending the first night away in Santa Maria, CA ... Not very far from Cambria, but for a reason. This gets me closer to an early morning departure tomorrow. Would have been too early to come to Santa Maria Airport from Cambria.  BUT ... When I return on Dec 21, I'm flying from LAX to San Luis Obispo, shorter distance for friend to pick me up. However ... This has been a very special day spent with Jay and Hannah Powell here in Santa Maria.  In addition to seeing the Fourth of July fireworks, we've had wonderful discussions about spiritual transitions and beliefs and some fabulous food to boot. Great day! Terrific way to start my six-month adventure! Thank you J & H for opening your doors to me. Got some good books to read ... One by Micheal Newton - Journey of Souls  ... The Spirit's Book by Allan Kardec.  Heavy duty reading in Kardec's book.  Eager to start it.  AND I have two others of fiction that Hannah recommended.  Can't wait. So betwe...

Day 3 - 180 Days in England

Okay, Day 1 & 2 are missing ... I haven't been able to get to wifi till now.  My Internet has not been installed at the apartment, so my dear friends Martin and Ali are allowing me to use their wifi at their guest house.  It appears that BT will not not be installing my Internet till July 22 now.  So, I'll just be posting from wherever I can till then.  There is a coffee shop not too far from my apartment that has wifi too, I'll certainly try it.  It's much more comfy here though, at my friends. My apartment is very nice, I've already moved the furniture around, is that a surprise?  Lol lol. And I've made a list of a few things I'll need to live comfortably. A small desk-table is in order, for my writing in front of the window with the sea view.  Top of my list. Ali took me food shopping yesterday at Morrisons, a supermarket here.  But there's a small grocery within walking distance that I'll use in between big shopping days.  I need ...
