Computers...arrrg



Sorry for not keeping in touch lately, we’ve had computer problems….well, we still do! If it’s not the computer itself, it’s the connection! We’ll get our computer back next week but our cell phone connection here is not good at all which is what we use for the internet. Someday, maybe, we’ll have satellite connection. For now we need to go to the town to make it work. We are staying in Bodega Bay at the moment.
We arrived here last Tuesday after a short stay in Modesto. It was wonderful to see our friends again. Each day was filled with play dates and dentist appointments since our favorite family dentist is in Modesto. Dr Mullins (on Coffee rd, in case you’re looking for a good place to go to) is very gentle and patient, he showed Ben and Eva how each tool works and tell them everything he’s doing. It’s precious. And the whole staff is friendly and makes you feel at home.
Unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough in Modesto to see everyone and the children still wanted to do a lot more with their friends. We should be back in November or so…

Our first day in Bodega Bay, which is north of San Francisco, was a school day, foggy, rainy and chilly. We still managed to have PE on the beach without getting wet. Bill led us in doing some stretching exercises, jogging and sprinting but soon PE turned into science when we found the remains of a seagull, a sand piper and even a seal which attracted about a dozen turkey vultures. It was nice to see them so close.

I wish all to the moms a wonderful Mother’s Day filled with love and surprises like mine.

It was so nice to see all of you - thanks for making time to come by and visit. We enjoy watching Ben & Eva grow and listen to the experiences they are having. Hope you're enjoying Bodega Bay - probably a lot cooler than it's supposed to be here this weekend - 104 is forecast. Dr. said yesterday my hip/back problem is spinal stenosis and a bulging disc - going to try epidurals before consenting to surgery. Now waiting for ins. to approve an epidural.

Hi Shirley,
You are right about the temperature in Bodega Bay. We were back to wearing big jackets, gloves and hats. It was also very, very windy...too windy to go sailling:(
Hope that everything goe well with the epidural.

Maman,
C'est pas tres gentil de me faire envie avec les beignets aux accacias. Manges-en pour moi, stp.
Il fait bien plus chaud la ou on est aujourd'hui. On est en petites robes d'ete. On est a Cloverdale jusqu'a demain avant de retourner sur la cote.
Bisous
