home to Caspar 14 August 2023

In the gloaming last night we found our way to The Gables, where we occupied the elegant Sunset Room.

We awoke to a sunny Santa Rosa morning, took tea on the back deck, and then, when the gong sounded, made our way to the Dining Room for an awesome B&B breakfast.

Dining room chandalier:

To Freeman Toyota to get our Prime's 40k service, and then on our way home. The prevailing traffic was travelling at 72 miles per hour on the freeway, above my rated top speed, but I kept up through the busy midtown section.

After a stop at Oliver's for groceries we can't find in Fort Bragg (guanciale, organic pork tenderloin) I stubbornly set my cruise control at 65 and felt like the pebble perturbing the stream. 

Lunch at Lauren's. We think Lauren's was better in her old digs: more spacious, more Boonville. The Caesar was good although the cretins were to hard, and the peanut sesame noodles were too peanutty.
