September 19thish.
We all have those moments while doing a routine, your mind goes blank and you skip a step. Well on a morning before work I started the coffee maker without the pot underneath. I only noticed halfway through because it smelled way too much like delicious coffee, due to it being all over the sink and counter.
This weekend was the “October Birthdays Party” at Mia’s family’s home in Shell Beach. Mia and her cousin/roommate waited for me until I finished work on Friday and we drove up there Friday night. On Saturday morning a bunch of us went to a farm that has fruit and a hay maze and all sorts of family-oriented Halloween season activities. Later a big fun group of family slowly trickled in, and so did my mom! After-all her birthday was a few weeks ago in September. It was awesome to see my mom at this pleasant halfway point from SF to LA. We went up to see George the horse. It was fun to see several horses being ridden and people’s dogs freely walking around the barn stables, everyone is very friendly and the weather was perfect up there. The rest of the day we searched through the tide pools and Mia’s sister, Maeve found an eel, an octopus, and a starfish.
On Sunday everyone got up and we went to the Pismo dunes. I got to drive on the beach and out there it really does look like a desert.
It was fun as always to see so many people and meet a few new faces, and best of all to see my mom for the weekend.
