We just got back from a trip to Disneyland. A first for the kids. And were they at the perfect age, ready to participate in thrilling and chilling rides, reveling in the fantasy come alive, and nightly fireworks.
Oh, but it's good to be home with our pets and the clean, fresh air and the sweet water of Washington. It's cool up here, but so welcome after the desert heat. Hard to believe that once I grew up in India and lived through temps. over a 100 F.
Here's a picture of all of us cooling off at Splash Mountain ...
after we rowed around Treasure Island. It's the only ride where the riders actually have to do some work ...
Now it's back to the regular routine -- walking the dog, cooking, cleaning, playing, teaching, working on my novel again, reading in peace.
I stashed a small stack of index cards in my fanny pack and managed to write a bit when I skipped the stomach-curdling rides. I loved people watching and stories were constantly popping in my head ... I can't wait to see where they lead me.
I hope you're all enjoying your summer and soaking up the beautiful sunshine.

It looks like you had a great time. Haven't been to Disneyland in ages.
We did ... our kids are at the perfect age, they will remember this ... perhaps they will take their own critters to Disneyland when they are 10.
I poked around on your blog -- love your quirky art. You make veggies interesting even to children. Thanks for visiting here.
Welcome home!
PS I got a notice that your book shipped today!
Woo-hoo! Whistle'll be the best present. Thank you.
Looks like a great time! Missing you, Vijaya!
Aw! Thanks Susan. I've got to go catch up on what you've been up to as well ...
