Time to reacclimate......

7:27 am - Sunday - October 16th - Fontana, CA - 61° F, 93% humidity (OMG, will the madness never end?), wind 3 mph out of the southwest.....heavy overcast this morning with a forecast high of 74° F.  On this date in 2015 TLE and I attended the wedding rehearsal in Riverside, CA for our daughter Kate, and now son-in-law, Nick.....↴ 

Whenever we come into SoCal for a short period of time, such as this time (just 4 days) the days we are here are a whirlwind of visiting with family, and friends.....mostly family as we have 5 children, 9 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.....that is a lot of catching up to do in a short period of time.

Saturday we had a date with our oldest daughter, Meredith, who was born in 1978 on my birthday. I am always so impressed with her breadth of knowledge about most anything one might want to talk about, and when TLE and I are with her the time just seems to melt away.  We met her at Simple Simon's Bakery and Bistro in the walking mall in downtown Riverside (next to the world famous Mission Inn) around 10 am for breakfast.  Whenever we are in town breakfast at Simple Simon's is a must.  They make all their bread, bagels, croissants, and pastries, and many people visit their establishment just to purchase one of the aforementioned.  We had to park about 4 blocks away as parking is always an issue on Saturdays as there is a weekly farmers market.....

.....which draws thousands of visitors.  Simple Simon's is located about 1 block south of the farmers market.  Their sign says they serve Lunch & Breakfast & Lunch.....I've always wondered why lunch is mentioned twice.....maybe I should ask one time, right?  LOL!.....

....Meredith beat us there as she found parking spot right on Mission Inn Blvd......

....whilst Meredith snagged an indoor table (it was quite cold, and stormy looking outside so we forewent the alfresco option), TLE and I got in line to order 3 breakfasts.....

.....they have a one page menu at Simple Simon's, and their omelettes are for which to die....

.....TLE had their Breakfast Croissant Club, I their Fresh Spinach & Bacon Omelette, and Meredith their Chicken Apple Sausage Omelette.....all of our breakfast entrees were splendid.....

.....as always, the conversation flowed non-stop, and soon the restaurant got much busier, so we decided it was only right to abandon our table so someone else might enjoy it.  From there we walked across Mission Inn Blvd. to visit one of our all time favorite thrift shops, Mission Galleria, which is 4 stories in all, counting the basement, and they have a lot of stuff to see.....

....a little after 12 pm we bid Meredith adieu, and headed back to our car.  From there we stopped off at Walmart to buy a few things, and were home sometime after 1:30 pm.

Sunday will be our final day here at the Elks Lodge in Fontana, CA, and by Monday afternoon we will be at our winter job site, Glamis North Hot Springs.  I was looking at the weather forecast for Likely, and for Niland, where Glamis North is located.....quite a different forecast for the two places....

......a 31° F differential for the morning lows at each location.  I think we've got some adjusting, and reacclimating to do...lol.

Around 3 pm it began to rain, and continued on and off well into the evening. At times the rain came down so hard one could not hear the TV audio at any volume level.  Additionally, we had quite a bit of lightning and thunder....something we only briefly experienced at LPG&RVR.

Thanks for stopping by!
