Ramble Conclusion: Carpinteria October 2013

Devoted readers of this blog may be somewhat puzzled by the absence of a close-out post during the recent Carpinteria Ramble. Some have even suggested a failure by your humble blogger to meet his blogging responsibilities.

This post is intended to silence those misguided souls. The reason there was no final Ramble post was because, well, to be frank, my laptop died...again...and I couldn't enter a post until I returned home. Where I am now. Blogging. To you now. With this blog entry.

It may not be quite exciting as a one-sentence description of a 7.1 earthquake in Japan, but it counts.

The second reason for the delay is, as many devoted readers wisely inferred, that the Ramble took a toll on your humble blogger's state of mind and blogging was somewhat problematic, so to speak.

But all is well that ends well. Or so they say. So here's a picture of my father with his cane in Carpinteria Baptist Church:



And here's another picture of Casa Poco y Humilde Carpinteriero (or something like that) with Auto Project de Jeur, aka Shiny Junk Heap, in front:



As for your blogger's current state of mind, it is as sound as it ever was. Not exactly reassuring, I know, but it's better than it could be and that just about says it all, or something. Maybe.

One final note: Some devoted blog followers have expressed an interest in the latest news of the other leading characters in this Ramble. Latest word is that they have been giving away and selling what remains of their possessions (and there are lots and lots of possessions) and planning for "The Garage Sale" on November 1st. This in preparation for the as-yet-unscheduled move to the retirement home, which will be soon or later. Probably later because, as Mom says, "We might have to have two or maybe three garage sales." How could anyone move before garage sales?

There you have it.
