We were up at four and out of the house by four
thirty. As an experiment, we parked the
car at the Old Town Trolley station, and took the trolley to the train station
downtown. George had packed the three
mural boxes for Bobbie with masses of clean towels in the cloth pillow
bag. He kept it with him for the whole
trip to LA.
And the trip was wonderful, as usual.
Bobbie loved the boxes. She paid.
We went out to lunch with both Bobbie and Geoff where she noted that we
were the oldest folks there. It was a
great omelette for me, and a good burrito for G. We talked in the warm shade at a coffee shop
for a while…of Bobbies latest work and of the Film being made of Geoff of his
40 years in Scientology. Only one
interview left to do, and the film will be ready to edit. And thanks to us, Bobbie is ready to finish
this show and ship it to New York first.
She drove us to the Van Nye’s train station, where
the clerk was sitting inside in no air conditioning.. We all sat outside in a cool breeze under a
tent and chatted a while before the South bound train roared in. George’s eye had been caught by a steam
engine on the LA roundtable as we went up.
The one photo of the day is a long distance one of the round table taken
on our way home.
It was not a picture kind of day. We talked for hours. It was very nice. The train up was on time, and the train home
was on time. The car was right outside
the train door and so I did not have to walk far at all.

ReplyDeleteThat box is truly lovely and really shows all the attention that went into it. I am so glad this was both successful and rewarding for you. I wish I took a train more often. Maybe hubby and I should do a cross country train trip?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful day all round!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry neither my dad nor my brother, both master wood workers, are not here to see this box and congratulate George on a beautiful job. Look at those dovetails!
