This weekend I indulged in some R and R about an hour out of town. By 8pm Friday I was taking an evening dip in a refreshing pool with a cocktail in hand. Saturday morning dawned to a fresh cup of Temecula's finest brew and a morning spent soaking up some Vitamin D, paperback fiction in hand.
The afternoon brought heat in excess of 100 degrees so I brought my derier to the Casino, where I promptly won $121.00. Upon my departure, alas, my car battery had kicked the proverbial bucket, so another 45 minutes was spent waiting in a parking garage... alas, my savior came in the form of a AAA technician. One new battery later, I was back by the pool enjoying a chicken salad and iced tea, sans the long island. After a few episodes of forensic television sleep beckoned me.
This morning I strolled through Old Town Temecula, window shopping and taking in the sights. I eventually found my way to Old Highway 395, a long, curvy county road surrounded by horse farms, fields of fruit and beautiful mountains; spontaneously stopping along the way at a fruit stand where local farmers sold their fare for extremely reasonable prices. For a mere 8.50 I bagged cucumbers, mango's, squash, and 30 avocados. Yes, 30... that was NOT a typo. Small in size but PERFECT to take for lunch. And for $5 a bushel, who could possibly resist?
All in all, a very calming few days. At one with myself, not forced into small talk or mundane conversations, nor abiding else's schedule. I reflected on recent changes to my life and made some new resolutions on bettering myself. Although I enjoy going on adventures with friends and family, this was one that proved to be just what the doctor ordered.
