Trip to Lancaster, CA

Mileage: 1,197

The Focus now has over 1,100 miles on it.  I drove it to Lancaster in the Mojave desert to visit my brother, Robert and his wife Alexis. I had transferred some home movies for him and wanted to make sure and return the movies and give him the DVD I had made for his family.

Had a great time visiting with Robert we went out to lunch at fun restaurant with tasty food.

Book Club Meeting for November 2012

We had a wonderful lunch and conversation at our monthly Book Club meeting at Basque Restaurant. The book we read was Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Attending were Left to Right, me, Rachel, Susan, Rachel's friend, and Rita.

The restaurant we select was a Alphy;s Basque Chateau, Shell Beach, CA. The cuisine comes from the Basque region, which occupies an area in and around the Pyrenees mountains on the border separating France and Spain. In keeping with Basque restaurant traditions, all entrees are served family style with fresh bread, Basque soup, salad, beans and Spanish salsa. Entrees include lamb, steak, chicken, pork and seafood dishes.

New Car - New "Focus" - New Adventures

Mileage: 225

Starting a new "Focus" of my blog. All puns intended. On October 20, 2012 I purchased a 2013 Ford FOCUS Hatchback. I love the car.

I purchased it from Perry Ford in San Luis Obispo, CA. Moses Medina was my salesman. I will be writing about my road trips with the car. When I bought the car it had 225 miles on it. I will indicate the odometer reading as I post blogs on this site.
