In the evening, we drove to visit Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Dick at the Skyline Senior Living Center. They were eating dinner and both were very, very surprised. We allowed them to finish, and afterwards, a nurse walked them outside to have a great visit with us. Bobbie was all hugs and joy and Dick was all smiles. She kept calling Chitunga Chicago. They are now in total assisted living and memory care. Their minds go in and out of knowing what's going on. It was sad to see this, but it goes with the territory of getting older.
Chitunga and I are heading for hikes this morning and will make a game plan for our other travels while we're here. I changed my flight to leave out of San Francisco so that is likely to be our go-to location after the weekend. Well we've our way down there from where we are which is in a very remote part of Cali.
The hills are beautiful, but the dryness is frightening considering the fires they often get. Looking forward to seeing Hannah and Samantha tonight. I haven't been back to this part of the country since right before my senior year of high school.
Oh, and the chicken portraits around the hotel are worth the stay. I knew when I saw them online it was the deal that would hook me.
