Thanks to those who made it possible

Our trip to CA, a dream of Darcy's, was made possible by Tom's brother and his husband who welcomed us with open arms and dogs. We stayed with them in their beautiful home in the hills outside of Los Angeles, drove one of their cars, and of course, entertained them with our wit and charm.

Thank you to my wonderful BIL's, Richard and Clint, for an extraordinary visit to their lovely home. They wined and dined us, took us to a "comedy" show on menopause that mirrored much of my present existence, and ferried us around to various tourist traps. We, in exchange, ate their food, dirtied their house, used their car, loved their babies, took Richard to his first YouTube event and hooked him up with SnapChat.

We also have to thank our wonderful neighbors who took care of our own baby while we were gone. Elliot lived the high life the first week with our neighbors, Don, Missy, and Audrey, who sent us a picture of Elliot and Audrey chilling together.

Thanks too to my neighbors across the street, Bonnie, Brett and Gibs, for hosting Elliot the second week while Don and Missy hosted relatives from LA. We came home to find Elliot had enjoyed his vacation as much as we had, although he was very happy to see us back safe and sound.

Also, thanks to those readers who waded through the babbling that I am well known for when it comes to discussing events, places, and vacations. I can't thank you enough for your support for my little blog!
