Well Fairview, California is a beautiful city with lots of green space, golden mountains, and tons of farmer's stands selling fresh produce. Bob and I were really happy to be able to spend the evening with an old friend- Craig Gillespie who served with Bob on his mission and was in the 83rd branch with us back in the day.
We got to Fairview early so we spent 3 hours hanging out at the Barnes and Noble reading magazines and checking out displays. It was so fun and decadent to just read and hang out.
At 5:30 we followed the gps to Craig's house, let ourselves into the backyard and took in the beautiful landscaping, fountain, and sing. Wow I told bob this is a great hotel. We were startled by but then glad to meet Craig's brother and two nieces who came to raid his fridge for part of a family visit with Craig's parents who live just around the corner. Before too long, Craig came home and he looked wonderful. His cheerful demeanor and fun loving spirit were still front and center.
He graciously took us out to inner where we ate fabulous food and talked the night away. The restaurant in Napa had excellent food, great atmosphere, and we tried to catch up on all of the things everyone had been doing.
It was such a perfect night, he then generously hosted us overnight. Too soon, we had breakfast in his kitchen and we all headed on our way. We all agreed we needed to get together soon.
