As I have written before<\/a>, Adele and Benito have a house in in Palm Springs. To our sorrow, our friend Benito passed away recently and Palm Springs presents a problem for Adele. It is hard to spend time there alone. So this last time she went she asked Susan if she would like to go with her. Well, of course she would!<\/span><\/p>\n

So October 6th off she and Adele went to Bellingham to catch their flight south. Nico and I were bachelors for two glorious weeks. Susan wondered if she should take her cell phone and I said she should because it was a great little camera — and she could phone me on her camera if she wanted to. She took my suggestion and actually came back with some great pictures. And here they are!<\/span><\/p>\n
