• Serra V. and I are in California today and since Thursday.  It was quite an eventful trip down unfortunately.  We left at a reasonable time and were on our way out of town when traffic came to a complete standstill.  I was able to get off the freeway with the thought that I would go around it on the old highway.  It was crawling too.  As it turned out there was a tanker truck carrying some rediculous amount of talcum powder that exploded into a firey ball and The I-15 was shut down for the afternoon.  It only took me 2 hours to get out of Las Vegas when it should have taken 15 minutes.  We were on the road for 7 hours.  Not easy for a baby but Serra was an angel and slept the whole time waking long enough for a snack midway.  She looks happy doesn’t she?  We have been enjoying the weather.  It is quite balmy with cool breezes in the evening making the out of doors the place to be.  Mom and I have taken the baby out for a few visits and we have done a little grocery shopping as well.  We miss Brian a lot though and wish he were here too.  He has to work and it upsets me that he rarely gets a weekend break unlike his manager who had all last week off and took a long weekend this week too, even though Brian expressed his desire to have this weekend to take a much needed rest with his wife and baby.  Someday Brian will be in charge and things like this won’t  be an issue.  In the mean time we miss him.  Anyway here are Serra V and I hanging in California.
