Postcard


A postcard for all of you suffering through the return of winter in the Midwest and Northeast. E. told me it's snowing again in K'zoo.

Here in the Noroeste it's 82 (heat index 88), sunny, light breeze.

It's been a crowded holiday weekend on the beaches, lots of traffic by Lola's. It's been an okay weekend for business so far, not great but okay. Holidays here are family affairs, families gathering at home or on the beaches and they tend to bring food and drink with them.

Down Calle los Pinos, the little road we take to go to the beach, it's been a huge family camp-out weekend. Several extended families all pitched tents around a central "kitchen" tent for a weekend together. Since Friday (Good Friday) was a holiday the parties were in full swing by Friday afternoon. It's fun to see and to watch them and to watch all the kids playing on the beach.

Speaking of the beach, the dogs and I are headed there now. More later.

We have returned to COLD weather for Southern Florida - 52 degrees this morning! Easter services by the canal were too chilly for the girls but they stayed for breakfast. Really enjoyed our visit(s) to Ola Lola's and talking surfing & photography with you at Jobo's Beach. Stay in touch at eldie07@bellsouth.net Cheers, Larry, Billie & Bea Diehl
