Oxnard Shores Beach, California Febraury 21st, 2011
I’m on time. It’s still Monday and I spent my weekend visiting my twenty-year-old son, Austin, at UCSB, (University of California Santa Barbara) and then my cousin who lives in Oxnard, about one hour south of Santa Barbara. Look at the weather and how lucky we are in southern California.
I had forgotten how “poor” students live. My son doesn’t eat fresh vegetables or fruits. Just spaghetti and frozen pizza and I took him shopping for apples, bananas and grapes, hoping to pump him up with some fiber and vitamins. We also bought a frying pan and a saucepan. His frying pan had deep ridges and grooves like dry valleys in the desert. I wonder how much Teflon he’s swallowed in the last few months.
Do you remember stories from when you were a student? What about your children?
Oh, I am envious of that lovely weather and sea and blue skies!
I ate a lot of noodles as a student – and cake. But also fruit.
Rather than poor student days I had poor artist days. Tell your son to watch the local listings for public art openings – you can get a lot of vitamins and a often a very reasonably balanced meal off of an hors d'oeuvres spread!

After seeing your blog post and photos of Sweden, I'm not surprised.\

Good ide. He'll have to ride his bike to Santa Barbara though. No car.
The weather sure looked beautiful there. I can't wait for spring!
My daughter pretty much lived on Ramon Noodles in college!

We were just in Oxnard October 30th for our son's wedding in that old remodeled church in the little square of buildings downtown. We stayed at some motel there in the harbor.
Lazy Sadie dog says, "Woof!"
Beautiful scenery…we stayed at a beach house a couple years back on the beach in Oxnard. Beautiful up there. Your pics and video make me home sick…
Been meaning to stop in to tell you HELLO back…Jeanie delivered your HELLO to me when we met her and Doc in Laughlin.
Thanks for thinking of me…
