By the way, I have to work on this beautiful MLK day. It's all good, though. I have the doors propped open because when the heat works in the front of the building (where I am), the air conditioning doesn't. So it's been pretty cold in general lately, so only having heat has worked out swell. But now we have some kind of wiggity heat wave going on (see below).

It looks like more people are going to be visiting us this year than before. My mom and sister visited last summer, so I think that proved to others that it's safe out here. Before they visited, the only family member of mine who'd been out here was my dad, and he didn't enjoy California very much. The freeway, random sights and having your youngest daughter move 2,500 miles away can have a bad effect, I'm sure. Sooo as for the line up, Melissa's visiting us during Spring Break, Mitch is going be in LA for a conference, so we're planning on hanging out if he has time, and my mom and sister are planning another summer visit. Yay! People. :) And we encourage more of this.
