Lita's Birthday


We drove down to Rancho Bernardo on Sunday afternoon to stay with Lita. She had redecorated her home and patio and they never looked better. She also got a new TV with HD so we "oohed and aahed" over the 3D-type crispness of the picture (nature shows are really awesome). Dinner was at a favorite Mexican restaurant with Lita, Dean, Madalyn, and Emily. It used to be a residence, but the family expertly converted it and it's now a fun and authentic spot with terrific food and drink. Monday was Lita's birthday and we ate at The BeachHouse in Encinitas overlooking the ocean. Here we are sitting in the bar before enjoying a really superior dinner with martinis and wine. We drove back today to Carmichael in a little over 7 hours, and it only took '80-cruise control' and just two 10-minute stops to post a pretty impressive drive time. Lindsay took great care of the house and Abby was ecstatic to see us. Back to work for us tomorrow. Lita is coming to visit for Thanksgiving week and the Kings opening game is tomorrow night.
