Wed Jan 1 - i went for a run early and then we had breakfast at the Bistro from 8:30 am until about 10:30 am

 

It was so great to be able to have breakfast at The Bistro at Bacara and see our girl in action.  What a brilliant way to start 2025!  

The only thing was that it was terribly difficult to say goodbye to her since she was working and not able to slip away.  So Rhods and I choked back our tears and gave brief hugs to her before she was whisked away back to work.  Anyway, it was a truly great visit and we are so grateful.  Now back to reality...
