Bibleville/Santa Ana

The sun came out again and it has been a beautiful day. I returned to Santa Ana this afternoon for a vigorous walk while Steve watched football. But before that we had some other adventures.

The vege wagon comes here on Saturday mornings. It's a Brazilian feira on wheels. I went looking for munchies for our trip north, but came away with this bag of grapefruit. It will be a bit difficult to eat in the car, but for $2 we will find a place for it.



Linda and Doug Mosier are both very musical. Doug plays trumpet and writes and arranges for Bibleville's Glory Band, a play-whatever-instrument-you-want group here in Bibleville. We have enjoyed Linda on both piano and organ in the auditorium, but when we found out she had a pipe organ at home, we had to see it. Not every mobile home in this park could have held it, but they found one with a cathedral ceiling, removed a closet and voila!



Mom found it hard to focus her eyes on music at this height and her hearing aids distorted the sound, but she enjoyed playing around. Ignore Steve's voice in the background of this video. I know horizontal would view better, but vertical shows more of the organ.



We chatted over tea (South African rooibos) for an hour. They are Minnesota people during the summers. Who know? Perhaps we will see them again some time.

Since Steve finished preaching last night, we are no longer schedued in homes for dinner. We were all a little relieved to call our tea time "lunch. While Mom napped and Steve watched football, I took off again for Santa Ana Nature Reserve. This time I walked west toward the Cattail Lakes. Loved the wildflowers growing in the sun on the dike between lakes.




I sat on a bench near the HQ building, enjoyed the view, and read a book I am editing for a colleague. Very funny.
