"How much is that doggie in the window?"

Many people will be too young to remember this song - a slightly irritating novelty song from the 1950's. It has just become my earworm, starting at the second verse:

"I must take a trip to California"

That's what the younger daughter said, and went to visit her brother.

Goodness only knows when she will be home; she was supposed to fly back this coming Wednesday, but even if the planes do fly, there will be just a few in front of her in the queue.

I'm not looking to see the promised postcard any time soon, either.

It is a funny feeling; I know she is perfectly safe, but . . . .

Our cars looked rather mucky yesterday morning - just where the condensation had dried off, and left a bit of a rash of dust. So I guess it has started coming down. I have seen worse when there was a great windstorm in north Africa, which picked up the dust and rained it on us.

She is definitely perfectly safe. In fact, she's out in San Francisco right now, probably wandering through the Academy of Sciences. I'll nudge her about a postcard, because there are plenty of pretty postcards to choose from out here. :)

She'll probably be departing for home on schedule (though we won't know for sure before tomorrow... possibly later), and I'll be sad to see her go. It's been wonderful to have her here with us. :)
