Solvang

Had a lovely drive around Solvang yesterday. Gladys took me to see the Ballard Inn which was in the "Mayberry Show" and we also drove past Michael Jacksons property where Neverland is. We only saw the gate, but ofcourse Mike wasn't home !!Strange............I thought he would have been waiting there for me to invite me in for a cuppa !! Gladys also pointed out the Firestone (you know, the tyre people) property.It is an historical home and really beautiful.We drove all through Solvang, not a very big place but very quaint and touristy. When I am not quite so sore we are going to take a walk around it. Have seen a few different animals that I don't usually see around WA too, like Ground Squirrels, Gophers and Vultures. Gladys and Rick tell me that there are quite a few Coyotes up in the mountains behind us too. Judy, Gladys too me past Aunt Lillians house as well. The houses here are really quite different from the houses in Perth, very large and sprawling.It is a country area though, so I suppose I should have expected that. Gee there are a lot of different cars here to what we see in Perth. Big fancy things they are, and lots of long tray utes and motor homes. I find driving on the right hand side of the road daunting
. I would'nt like to try it. Full marks to you Rags for mastering it !!
Don't know what's happening today, Gladys is vacuuming while I'm typing this, I feel like having a rest day myself,but Gladys may have something else in mind. We'll see. Hope all is going well back home, thanks Jude, Steve and Dave for the comments,it's good to hear from home when one's so far away. Love to all.

    I just cannot resist this one Thelly - Vultures? You - going near vultures? Just keep waving things so they know that you are still alive. What it is you wave is up to you!!
    Pleased that you are enjoying the rest and holiday, make the most of it as Jim has big ideas when you get back to HH. Dave the Rave.
