After a slippery, detoured, trip down I-5 we arrived at Lana and Rob's in San Juan Capistrano, CA at 4:30 in the morning of January 18th. This was one day later than we planned. We planned to be there the evening of the 17th, but the I-5 closure at the Grapevine (north of LA) due to snow, literally the freeway with truck and car accidents, required us to detour East of Bakersfield. We ended up getting a motel at Cajon Pass and driving in the next morning. We were both awake at 3:00 a/m. so decided to hit the road before the rush hour traffic. A sleepy Rob let us in the house at 4:30 and we ALL went back to bed.
Lana is working parttime at Borders Bookstore now so, with Rebecca and Michelle in school, we had quite a bit of time to ourselves during the day. Good thing too, because I had quite a bit going on with my work that needed tending to. Lana said when we left it was going to be quiet because my phone wouldn't be ringing all the time. I'm in the middle of about 7 pending transactions... so it takes a lot of coordination. Fortunately, I have Shelley and Perci back home taking care of a lot of the incessant details involved with each transaction.
I was so busy working when we were there I was remiss in taking pictures. The picture above is of their home, but doesn't do it justice. The house is a very rambling rambler and a bit difficult to take a picture of. The building to the left (that you can barely see) is the 3-car garage. We had a lovely suite while staying there, with a large bedroom, private bath and laundry and big closet. Besides our suite, there are 4 other bedrooms, family room, living room, kitchen, and large entry area. They are all coming over on the week-end of the 16th so we'll get some family pictures then. Rob said he'll try to arrange a golf game with the local Jaquar dealer during the week-end. Wouldn't that be something?
