OH ELLEN!

How lucky are we? We've got each other, a beautiful family and amazing friends. John and I finally made it up to Santa Barbara were we spent an amazing day with Ellen. I thought I was jonesin' for time with her, as it had been since last November since we'd seen each other; but John had it bad! It had been 27 years since they'd seen each other! Inexcusable! Needless to say the reunion was brilliant. We had the best time ever, sharing old and new stories, discovering Ellen's beautiful garden, eating a fabulous dinner and sleeping under a blanket due to the cool mountain air in Painted Cave. The next day we headed down to Hendry Beach and had a lovely lunch of lobster tacos followed by a walk on the beach before heading home. Thank you Ellen for being such a wonderful friend to both of us.
