I'm leaving town..................


It's time to get out of town.  
Yes, Summer in the south is far too hot, too dry, and just too much this year!
On Saturday I'm heading west to northern California.
For a couple of weeks I'll awake each morning to this beautiful view after a restful night where a blanket (I have a vague memory of what that is!) may be required.  
I took these photos during last Summer's visit.



I'll keep in touch from Lake Almanor in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

    It will be so nice for you to cool off!! Up here we're still using our duvet at night - no heat here yet. Safe journey!

    Happy vacation Mary! I hear it's not been too sunny where you're going but hopefully it will improve. A change will be good after all the heat and humidity you've had this summer. Enjoy!

    Have a delightful time! We lived in Northern California fifteen years ago. The weather was just about as perfect as possible. Enjoy!

    Have a delightful time Mary. Are Bob and Jasmin going with you to cool off? I remember Jasmin had a wonderful time last year.

    Ah, cool air and mountain lakes. Can the rest of North Carolina stow away in your suitcases? Have a great time.

    Have a wonderful time in that beautiful view. I remember your visit last year. We are becoming old friends when I can remember your trips for the past couple of years. Travel safe. Oh how I wish I could hop in my car and come down and meet you. One of these days.
