Summer Time is Almost Here

[_Morley]

CA, Northern Orange County. Near Seal Beach. About two miles from the coast. Four miles from the nearest accessible beach. About five miles from the nearest dog beach.

I have two dogs. A yellow lab and a pointer. Both rescues. The dog beach is a blast with a couple of water dogs.

I do miss the Rockies, though.

Where are you?

I've been there. What a great place to live!

I'm in Idaho, up around Henry's Fork. Hemingway fly fishing country.

God's Country!

I've been to Rexburg, but not Henry's Fork. I'm an incurable flyfisher. I envy you!

Do you have a spare bedroom? (Just kidding).

Yes, I do. Let me know when you're going to be in the area. (Not just kidding.)
