Such a congenial visit all around -- companionable (and productive knitting, too!) drive out to be with your dear ones. nikkipolanihttp://nikkipolani.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-47308905831242267972014-03-15T20:44:38.863-07:002014-03-15T20:44:38.863-07:00Those scenes from the California desert look very ...Those scenes from the California desert look very familiar. We lived in So Cal for a number of years and made the drive here in Phoenix fairly often to visit friends. Glad you had a good time with family. Time with family is golden...usually ;-) Sounds like a fun road trip! I also love the idea of a Lentin gratitude journal.

I love how you and your hubby don't have to talk all the time and still enjoy each other's company.

He prefers to drive, I prefer to read. :-) It's nice to be comfortably together even when we're both quiet.<br /><br />That is a lot of different scenery in a short time! I know what you mean about family togetherness. When my oldest is here (the only one who lives away. so far), we treasure the time. One of these days I hope to go see him.<br /><br />I have that book by Freeman - still on my shelf for now, but I hope to get to it this year after getting through some of the reading challenges I signed up for.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-19035586731231727782014-03-14T12:18:04.205-07:002014-03-14T12:18:04.205-07:00As you know, I enjoy a road trip very much.

He is always willing to stop for bathroom breaks and sweet tea runs through the drive-thru.

TJ's good at the driving. I'm navigation control and yarn-tech while we're on the go... LOL! It's good for long trips when it's companionable.
