New from JOAN

I am enjoying CA and the sunshine but It hasn't been very warm yet.Yesterday after walking in the park with the lake and lots of trails, with a view of mts all around, with my new friend Jann, My bro-in-laws sister. I knew her,tho not well , in S'bluff. She was a yr ahead of me in school and we were in band together. I don't really remember her at all. Anyway, she is lovely, very strong Christian and we have great conversations while walking...We go about every other day...Then I went to Petaluma where my sister lives, about 20 mi. so. on Hiway 101.It is often cooler ther than here in Santa Rosa...they are closer to the Ocean. Spent a good part og the day in the knit shop getting started on a sweater. Its fun to start that hobby again, after many ,many years of making only scarves :-)Spent the night there cuz we went to a book signing last night at Copperfields, the local bookstore, to hear David sheff, who wrote Beautiful Boy and his son, Nic, who wrote Tweak, talk about their family's story of Meth addiction. It was really good and I can't wait to read the father's book, esp.Any of you heard about it?Last week at the Santa Rosa Copperfields I hear Jodi Picoult talk abou ther latest book AND her next book..not coming out til '09.Gotta run. Jann is coming over for a bit tonight. Miss you all,Love,Joan
