Hope the photos I've uploaded come up ok. The first one was taken from the car as we drove through Solvang, the other is self explanatory as I put a heading on that one. I think I should have practiced more uploading photos to this blog, even now I forget how I did them !!!
Yesterday Gladys took me into Solvang and I sat in the car while she did her bit of shopping, then Gladys took me for a drive around the country side to see the beautiful Ranches and homes, they are unreal !! I saw where President Reagan had his summer home in the Santa Barbara Mountains,then we looked around San Inez Valley and Gladys pointed out Westerly Stud Farm, the 2nd largest horse ranch in the country.We also saw Deer grazing on the side of the road with their babies. They were'nt as timid as I thought they would be. And ofcourse there were squirrels running across the road all the time. Dear little creatures, but apparently full of desease. Gladys was telling me that a Mountain Lion came down into Solvang this year too, looking for water. That would have been scary. Had my first beer last night, Trader Joes Vienna Style Lager !! A dark ale, not as good as ours I don't think. We are going to the Golf Club for dinner tonight, a bar-b-q, so will tell you about that on my next posting.
Thanks for "Comments" received, Cheers, Thelly
