It had been years since I had been to my hometown, Berkeley, California where I grew up. I decided it was time to revisit.
My husband and I set off as a 3 week road trip in our car packaged with CD’s, picnic goodies, and a rowdy fancy of what, where and who to visit. We had several dates set up with friends and household. In Ashland we saw two activities. Further down the road we cost the night with old friends in Mt. Shasta who I hadn’t seen in years.

I rang the doorbell and a quite good lady let me in to have a look. Surprisingly it was basically the same for I left it. I saw my old bedroom, the pantry and dining apartment where everything occurred. Yes, my old sensibilities came back a bit
