I was invited to Ojai, so bused there by noon. Ellen texted that she'd pick me up at Von's and drive me the rest of the way to her place, but I opted to walk. It's probably no more than a mile and a bit, and it was a pleasant day, so I enjoyed it.
After happy greetings, we sat down to chat, then opened our late-Christmas presents. I got some nice gifts, including a homemade ornament and "environmental straws." These are made of glass and, presumably, help save the environment.
We then enjoyed Ellen's casual, but delicious, lunch: ham, turkey, and cheese fixings with whole grain bread, accompanied by avocado, olives, tomato slices, and grapes. The best part was her homemade chicken non-noodle soup; instead of noodles, sliced zucchini is added, along with other vegetables. That may sound odd, but it was great. The soup was nicely seasoned with turmeric along with other herbs and spices.
After, we drove to the meadows we had visited on Christmas. We walked to the bench where El swears we were sitting when she saw an alien ship. We took a lot of pictures, some of which I may post when I can sort them out. A number of people were walking the trail and we chatted with many.
By the time we got back to El's, it was 5:00 and I wanted to start home. She took me to the stop and waited with me until the 16 came. This is ideal, as the 16 becomes the 10 when it gets to the transit center and stops right in front of my place. I had mentioned I have Soaring Spirits lunch today and a dentist appointment on Wednesday. I also want to set up lunch with Noreen, so will see the Ojai contingent soon after. It was almost 7:00 before I got home, but that was okay
Got a text from my nephew, Jim, thanking me for this picture I sent him:
