Happy Valley












So here I am in Happy Valley after spending the last few days with family and then traveling up the coast. So good to see Betsy - it's been 8 months since our last unexpected visit. Jesse and mom, Terre, and neighbors and friends, Dave, Theresa, Kelly, Charlie and Gabe are great!


They all live on an exquisite piece of property (300 acres?!) outside of Santa Cruz - acres and acres of open land, pear and apple orchards, lemon trees, grapes and more! Coyotes and deer regularly visit the families in the shared homes of this "Conservancy". It's beautiful - peaceful and an exceptional place that I am fortunate to be able to visit.




After a quick tour of town with Jesse, Gabe and Betsy, we four arrived home to the beginnings of a dinner party (the first of many to come in this neighborhood, I'm sure!) Betsy made an amazing mushroom lasagna!
