California for Tom's 55th Birthday Party and more!!!

Finally I'm here catching up on the last few months...

On July 14th I flew into San Francisco and had to wait till the next day 
to take the Amtrak bus to Tom's.  
So I had fun taking BART over to Castro Valley 
and stayed with the Dyers for a night!  
So great to visit with old friends! 
Had a great time with Gayle and Steve ... 
and breakfast with Gayle and daughter Ruth 
before leaving the next morning.  
I took Amtrak from Hayward to Fortuna... 
it turned out to be a 10 hour trip, 
but actually a beautiful and relaxing ride up the 101!  
 Had a few days at Tom's before his party!  
Time enough to do some food prep and party set up! 
Such a great party with lots of friends, food and music!  
So glad I could be there!
We did so many fun things... 
Went on the Madaket Harbor Cruise with friends
and friend Hugh was the captain! 
 An evening campfire on the beach with friends!
 A hike in the Redwoods on Tom's birthday!
  An awesome cruise on the Eel River!
 Thursday Night at the Ivanhoe!
 Bill's going away party! 
He's played here most every Thursday night for years!
Back to San Francisco for my flight home 12 days later!  
Saw beautiful sights and met many friends!
So thankful to have been able to make this trip!!!
