Bonnie, of course, looking for gophers.<br /> <br />If the light is right, I can look right through the waves at the dolphins...it's magical.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-40482536518314036902011-01-29T17:34:37.530-05:002011-01-29T17:34:37.530-05:00I love the ocean, Maureen.

San Jacinto would be snow capped in the winter, and the stars I could see from my backyard...before Hemet, Perris and the rest were filled with homes!<br /><br />It's a good location to touch so much of California.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-70879591248206839812011-01-29T13:36:30.745-05:002011-01-29T13:36:30.745-05:00Maureen, this speaks to my soul!

The sun, the beauty, the world's end magic of this coast just made me happy.<br /><br />4 years later we moved away. For many years we lived here and there, some better than others. Every single time husband and I visited SoCal, though, we felt this RELIEF, this sense of whole. And we knew it was just a matter of time.....<br /><br />A year and a half ago we moved back. And we love it. We're not as close to the coast, but we can be there in an hour. We are temperate, but surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains framed by palm trees as I look down my street. We have the desert, the mountains and the beach all within an hour. And we feel good, happy. <br /><br />So, yep! I know JUST EXACTLY how you feel! And Monterey is gorgeous. Of course, I love the whole Central Coast, so pretty, so BIG and bold and dramatic. And great wine. Kid is going whale watching in a few weeks for school, I may tag along. If so, I'll tell one to wave as you as she rolls by SC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-89162465005401912602011-01-29T13:09:47.184-05:002011-01-29T13:09:47.184-05:00Well, Leanne, we live on the same coast...I bet th...Well, Leanne, we live on the same coast...I bet the whales that slip past Monterey Bay, go sliding through the waters past your bit of current!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-79415996721090538952011-01-29T12:44:57.149-05:002011-01-29T12:44:57.149-05:00I like what you said about all oceans being one.
