a good way to say goodbye

It had been four months since I had seen Dan. Now it will be another 3, but luckily Dan and I were able to spend 4 days together before he leaves for London.

After I flew into Palo Alto, Dan and I drove to Ashland, OR. On the way out we stopped at the Oakland temple.


Dan's grandma was the best hostess I have ever seen. She showed us around Ashland, introduced us to her friends, treated us dinner, got us fabulous seats at the plays, and had two lemon bars and two waters waiting for us when we got home at night.


Dan and I saw "The Tempest", "Taming of the Shrew", and a modern play called "Distracted"


On the drive back to Palo Alto we stopped at the Redwoods.




Then we made a stop in our city, San Francisco. We went to my old house and enjoyed the view of the GG bridge and GG park. Romantic things were said, Dan got on a knee, and written below us in the streets of San Francisco was this:


I accepted and now Dan and I are engaged to be married.
