Grew up driving (riding) back and forth from LA to a bit south of Fresno to our grandparents' farm, the cotton fields, alfalfa, Giant Orange drink stands. It makes me happy that you see it and feel it, too. What a fine gentleman of the road with whom to travel. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-92222364539445712642015-04-04T23:12:50.427-07:002015-04-04T23:12:50.427-07:00I love it here too.

I guess the flowers aren't blooming this year because of the drought. Beautiful pictures. Especially the last one.

Only it would be so much better out there as the winters here can make it seem quite desolate.<br /><br />I want to move to California.....! You should be on the Board of Tourist Travel, or whatever they call it, as you certainly can sell that place and it isn't a hard sell, is it?<br /><br />Thanks for sun from Calif. this morning as it is gray and drizzly here. Oh, and if you ever want to record that Indian/British accent of Oscar's, it would be a delight to hear. Although he probably wouldn't consent to it - well, there is a bit of the showman in him though - great boy!livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-28903650982077837052015-04-04T10:52:54.750-07:002015-04-04T10:52:54.750-07:00I'm sorry that the road trip had to happen, bu...I'm sorry that the road trip had to happen, but I'm so pleased that Oliver made it with you and that you turned it into an adventure. Lola does a terrific East Indian accent, too - I think it was all those years of Montessori school with teachers' aides and their kids from India. I always wonder if it isn't a little bit offensive that I love it so much and ask her to do it all the time, but she revels in it and has even developed some pretty good Bollywood dance moves to go with it. <br /><br />The pictures are extraordinary. Glad you're home safe and sound. Love to you all.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-80809982279363864612015-04-04T09:39:15.601-07:002015-04-04T09:39:15.601-07:00It's always nice to have entertainment for you...It's always nice to have entertainment for your travels! <br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-66658429262244839752015-04-04T09:01:32.421-07:002015-04-04T09:01:32.421-07:00I love me a good road trip.
