A Day Away

Last year Ken and I went for a tourist day. I showed him a little of this area. The weather was great and Marsha was in good hands with her sisters with one an experienced nurse. I must admit I was relaxed and at ease with the time away. It was as if my brain shut down in the strain and stress arena. We then went to Huntington Beach State Park and walked through the old mansion. After that it was off to Georgetown for another tourist trip. We walked the center and the waterfront and had lunch in one of the downtown small restaurants. Most important it had been a long time since Ken and I spent any time really talking. It was a really wonderful day. Although we approach things from a very different point of reference it was clear we share much of the same vision of life. Our path and vocabulary seemed so parallel while coming from different places. Our reconnection felt really good to me. Marsha's family, after so many years, does feel like mine also and Marsha and I had felt somewhat disconnected from them over the past few years. We returned to my home in the late afternoon and for me it was like a vacation. We found the others at home and the rest of the day seemed equally relaxed. Marsha's test had gone smoothly and they had spent a good day as well.
