Our first trip to this part of California. I’ve heard a lot about Santa Barbara over the years but I’ve always pictured it similarly to the large cities of California. In reality it is much more rural here. Dante’s base is not far and we are staying in a beautiful place where I can look out and see country rather than skyscrapers. I love this. We will be here for 4 days and then head home. I’m looking forward to going to church with Dante tomorrow. Today we will see a good deal of this part of California.

Our grandson Dante is such a well-balanced young man, and thoughtful too! I wasn’t sure that ever ran through Lewis blood! He truly makes all of us proud. He’s 27 and still hasn’t found the right gal. He is looking and we are glad to help. He loves Jesus and wants to be sure whoever he does marry loves Jesus as her Savior and Lord. There need to be a few more characteristics, but this tops the list.

It is so nice to be a grandpa and have your grandkids loving Jesus. Nothing is finer than this joy!
