 Well Bill and I worked out our differences,  and tomorrow Bill is driving me up after his talk with his therapist and we will spend the night at the cabin then he will return home and I will be up with Scott, Jessi, and the boys until Friday, when they will return home and I will spend until Monday with Nora,Riyad and Nikolaj.  So that gives me a week away from Bill on my own, and I think we both need the space.   I look forward to the time away.  Thank goodness we worked things out!

Today was a bad day and Bill is troubled.  I am just trying to ignore him and be okay.  Blogging is not in my blood today.

 Today we took it easy.  We did our exercises and took a walk, then had lunch at home.  I decided not to go with Sandy to a Laurel Birch show, and instead watched a movie.  I rested afterward and now am writing in my blog.  I am worried about next week.  Whether I should do a lunch with Sandy on Monday, and weather to go to the cabin with the kids.  I'll talk to Bill about it.

 Today we went to Trader Joe's after breakfast and then put all the groceries away.  Then I worked on my blog and Away from Her for a long time.  When I asked what we were doing for lunch Bill wanted to go to the Rockridge Cafe.  We ate there in our favorite spot by the window, then came home and I watched a movie about ballerinas.  Also, Nikolai face timed with me for a few minutes and then I responded to all his photos on line.  Now I'm blogging and very happy to be home.  It's 100o in Santa Rosa today so Nora, Nikolai and Riyad went to Bodega Bay for a cooling off for the day.  They brought lunch and when they return will have leftover salmon from last night.

 I am enjoying my blog more and more.    Today we went with Jessi, Wesley and Lewis to the Botanical Gardens of Berkeley, and though Wesley was upset at first, he quickly got into the spirit of things after seeing a bunch of newts and other animals, like birds, rabbits and lizards.  After they went home Bill and I went to the Orinda hofbrau and had sandwiches, potato chips and Iced tea.  Then we went bak home and I saw a movie and then got down to my blog.  I am so looking forward to our couple of days away, even though it means getting up tomorrow at 6:30 so the cleaners can come early at 8 am.  I hope we have fun in Carmel.  It will be good to get away.

 I am writing my blog after a long day at the San Francisco Zoo with Jessi and her boys.  We left at 9:30 and returned after 3 pm.  We saw a lot of wonderful animals and rode the train and had lunch there.  I loved the peccaries and the Komodo dragon and the lemurs.  We really rushed around seeing a bunch of animals.  We saw the aquarium, the reptile zoo and so many special animals.  I hope others appreciated it.  We really did.  Now I will try to think of something interesting to eat for dinner.

 Today we had lunch with Scott and Jessi, as it was their last day without the boys until school begins.  We also went to the post office to take our two days away at Carmel, and got groceries from Star.  It was fun going out with Scott and Jessi and she is going to take us on Sunday to the San Francisco Zoo.  Her trip to Pinecrest will be postponed for a few days.  Because Scott wants to work some more on various projects.  We love being with them.  Hopefully Riyad can come up tomorrow for lunch with us.  We don't know yet.  We will see him and Nora and Nikolaj in August.
