We left SF and traveled up the coast, through redwood forest and by oceanfront. Stopped for a night in the lovely little town of Trinidad. I dreamed of getting out to walk among the trees on the next day.

We visited relatives who have a sweet pup named Lucy. This is from one of my favorite photos of her and my son.

I was so glad to have brought a full pile of colors with me on this 2-week trip, so I could retreat into them and play when I had the time.

Thanksgiving at my son’s place in SF. After a dinner that couldn’t be beat, we settled into another epic bi-coastal adventure of Dungeons and Dragons. Only this time, most of us were all in the same room!
I doodled as we played.

I saw a face in the rocks over a river as we rolled by.
Last day on the train; by evening we were in San Francisco, in time for Thanksgiving.

This was a lovely long day on the train, through glorious views of the snow-covered Rocky Mountains. This drawing was taken from a favorite photo of me as a fierce 5-year old. I still like sticks.

After the first night on the train we stopped in Chicago for a few hours. It was enough time to walk to the waterfront, and around the parks there. I met my husband in Chicago in the ’80s, and have not spent much time there since we moved back east, so this was a real treat.

I am in the thick of trying to catch up with the rest of my life after two weeks away, but will start posting a few pictures a day until I catch up here!
The first day of travel: taking a train from Massachusetts to California! The start of a grand adventure, but I missed my furry buddies.

I dreamed vividly last night, that my friend was officiating the wedding I wish she hadn’t missed. On a white sand beach, wearing the bluest, shiniest mermaid queen gown. The bride and groom recounted the story of their romance using sleight of hand with oreo cookies. The parents were all dressed in white, and radiantly happy.
This will be my last post for about 2 weeks. When I get back to home and scanner, I’ll post whatever I’ve managed to draw while on the road. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate; and may everyone find themselves in circles of love and gratitude with family and friends.
