home again

Friday night my parents and I arrived in Santa Maria. Erik met us there, and it's an understatement to say that it was so good to see him. I visited with my best friend E on Saturday. We went to Nojoqui Falls. Then Erik and I went to dinner in San Jose at one of our favorite Indian food restaurants. Then we got home after 10. It was very hot in the apartment--it's been in the 100s here. Today's supposed to hit 103. Now I'm catching up on emails, and I have a stack of regular mail to open. The apartment needs to be cleaned. I want to get rid of a lot of stuff. It felt so right to live with few possessions during the trip. I would like to pare down.
