homesic?

i am ready to be home.
calif is nice to visit but i'm very pleased with myself that i left for tn when i did.
the lake resort is not what it used to be but than it ceased being that two years before i opened up a map, closed my eyes and let my fingers find our next "home". lake wohlford is still a beautiful resort - although the lake is half the level it was when i left and the flat land at the bottom of the mountain [where the boys used to dirt bike] is now a church/school and huge parking lot.

get this - there is even a "dog park" [white plastic bags line the wire fence. odd visual.] attached to the new humane society next to the aqua duct.

new houses are still going up around the perimeter of escondido. sadly, most of the old shops i used to frequent are now advertising in spanish and the vietnamese restaurant is no longer there next to the laundry mat. that disturbed me the most i believe.
my love of asian food overcomes me sometimes. mike and i went to a new sushi bar he frequents and our meal ran over 50 bucks. senseless.
food was good, but not that good.

bob let me know he is very angry with me for just giving the trailer to renee'. hmm - wonder if i should care, i do and i don't.

the flower garden little fingers and i planted years ago is beautiful, renee' has taken good care of it. the apricot tree where jacob's afterbirth was laid to rest under a mass of blossoms and promise of things to come had been taken down to make room for a new trailer. don't believe i'll tell jacob that though. he has always considered that tree his "special tree". after all he helped it grow.
my friends are still in that party stuff most days, so i'm ready to head out. sad when you out grow your oldest friends.

jordan to the phish concert in Cincinnati, OH the 21st. anxious to hear how it went but will have to wait until i get home.
