6.228 coast getaway

Sunday 07/20/2025

Sunday morning ritual, water plants, do crossword. Also spent a couple hours trying to rescue some of the pictures from Joyce’s book. She included pictures, like this one of her in the high school prom dress she made herself.

I do not have access to the original Kodak print. All I have is the book, which was reproduced at a Kinko’s or some such service. I scan the page with the image and then apply the digital tools I have to try to clean it up and make it presentable.

Got through about 10 of them. I will eventually add them to the “Family Album” on Smugmug.com.

Anyway, at 12 I got together with Joanne and we drove “over the hill” to the San Gregorio General Store to listen to some music. Unfortunately we both wanted to be back to CH for a presentation at 4:30, so we could only stay for one set, and then had to leave at 3pm. But it was a nice outing anyway.

The presentation was by our neighbors Jerry and Betty. They took a lengthy tour in 2000, documented with a camcorder. Jerry has been editing the camcorder footage into a travelogue of this trip. Previously he had shown their time in Viet Nam and in Myanmar. This time it was India and Egypt.
