We are now back home in Phoenix after spending five months on the road. Our last week was spent in the San Diego area. Gene loves it there having lived in San Diego off and on during his Naval career. He zips around town with ease, and I get to go along for the ride.
We visited our friends Ellie and Dennis Knight in Fallbrook for a few days, lounged around their pool, picked avocados and fruit from their trees, and headed back to Fiddler's Cove near Coronado with bags of goodies. The Knights have such a beautiful home and property . . . it's always a treat to visit them.
As we were sitting in the RV gazing out the front window at San Diego Bay, the Coronado Bridge and the city and mountains beyond, we began counting our blessings. Safe travels, good health, five years of marriage, visits with family and friends, and a "room with a view" wherever we go. We love "RV-ing". And the climate in San Diego is the best in the country. We truly believe that.
Which is why we decided to make a donation to Friends of the Orphans. We are enjoying ideal conditions while the children's home in Haiti has been damaged by recent storms. Four storms, some hurricane strength, to be exact. Despite their own problems, they extend a helping hand to their community by delivering water and supplies to areas of their country that have been totally wiped out. Hundreds have died. Thousands are homeless and without food and water. Crops and houses have been destroyed. So, if you, like us, have much for which to be thankful, consider sending a donation (any amount will help) to: Friends of the Orphans, 85 Algonquin Road, Suite 395, Arlington Heights, IL 60005. Mark it "Haiti Flood Relief". I know firsthand that it will be put to good use. Thank you.
