The Arbor Guest House provided the expected hearty breakfast and lively conversation (plus several rounds of bocce ball) early today prior to our mid-morning departure.
We first stopped off at Cuvaison Estate Winery, a beautifully situated spot where we shared a wine tasting of some really nice varieties and vintages, including an especially tasty Chardonnay. We called our connoisseur son Jon in Illinois while lounging on the patio looking out over the vineyards, wine glass in hand; "Mom," he exclaimed, "It's only 11:00 in the morning!"
Once back on the road, we returned to Walnut Creek for lunch at a Rossmoor restaurant with Helen and Dave before driving on to Palo Alto later in the afternoon.
This evening we had dinner with SCOTT SUTORIOUS whose family lived in Shaker Heights (and were active members of Plymouth Church) for years before moving back to the West Coast to be with Scott's mother here in Palo Alto. We missed seeing his wife, CAMELIA, because she was off in Florida settling HER 90-year-old father into a new condo there. We enjoyed our evening together, catching up on the activities of their four sons as well as those of the parents, and look forward to seeing some of them again, at least, at on a future Ohio visit.
