Thursday

This has been a quiet day. David called with an update and things sound encouraging for them. He said Henry opened his eyes when his brothers started talking, that made us smile!

We left Carmel and after a few stops paid the $9.25 to drive by Pebble Beach on the 17 mile drive, it really is beautiful. This is the famous cypress tree at Pebble Beach. Our B & B is in Pacfic Grove and is very nice. I think the major thing here is the food and so far the afternoon snacks were great.

Tonight we met Aunt Betty and Bill at the Monterey Plaza Hotel for dinner in the Duck Club Grill overlooking the ocean. To much fog to see the sunset but it was another wonderful evening. We were celebrating Betty and Waynes 67th Anniversary, Wayne was not able to be there but we heard the story of that day and the early years. Just a small part of that story was he and 4 friends went to Peoria the day after Pearl Harbor to enlist. They were told to come back after they finished up their Sr year at Monmouth College. I am glad for the time we have had to spend with them. Just always wish we had more!
