Thursday August 12, 2010 - Camarillo/Carpinteria, California

This morning was errand running. Getting my robe into the dry cleaners, stopping off to do some computer work. I met Jim, Dianne, & Lewis for lunch at Zzyzx Cafe for lunch. Then it was up to the house to hook up the dryer and wipe down & polish most of the furniture so it was ready to roll.

Then it was off to Vallarta to pick up ingredients for tonight's dinner. Making up a tomatillo-based vegetable soup to go with brown rice and some of Vallarta's marinated carne asada. Yum! The family arrived around 5:40pm. The kids were *very* happy to see me again, which was very nice indeed! Dinner turned out fine (no complaints/illnesses), and early to bed.
