Rich is a wood turner and makes lots of beautiful bowls and other wooden objects. He loves to find an unusual piece or type of wood and then turn a bowl. He also gives wood turning classes in his shop.
Rich also is a train collector and has a garden train. The day I visited him, the Bay Area Garden Railway Society was having a series of open houses displaying the trains, and Rich's garden train was on display.
I spent the night at my brother's and then headed down to Pacific Grove to visit with Mom. I was blessed with more warm sunshiny weather most of the week. Friday I headed towards Frazier Park to see my friend John. For those who follow my blog you know John had major surgery over a year ago and I am happy to say I think he is doing really well. He has had a few bumps along the way but for having such a serious major surgery has made wonderful progress. He has his one year checkup in a few weeks and we are keeping our fingers crossed that tests will be clear. It rained Saturday morning and was generally a "yucky" day so I decided to spend the rest of Saturday in Frazier Park and leave early Sunday morning and avoid L.A. traffic on the way to Borrego Springs. Wow was I surprised when I woke up Sunday morning:
I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get out of Frazier Park on Sunday, (most of the roads are gravel, full of ruts, and steep) but the sun came out for a little while and melted some of the snow and I was on my way by 10:00. Once I got down to the bottom of the hill and hit the freeway the roads were clear and it was pretty easy driving to Borrego Springs.
The WINS are staying a few miles east of Borrego Springs for Thanksgiving week. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces upon my arrival and reunite with friends I haven't seen since last spring. I've never been to this part of California and I am looking forward to a great week.
