Okay, Miss Penni, I am dying of curiosity. If proper southern girls had two first names, what was your second one? Incidentally, I think we should complain to the webmistress or something. 'Penni' always turns up in red, and of course we all know it is the correct spelling of your name. I think that spell-check feature needs to be personalized!!

Penni, The times and places Christine and I grew up in in Southern California were near-idyllic. It was a delightful, fun place to be then. Alas, things change. Contrasting then and now borders onto the surreal. I believe it was Thomas Mann who said that you can't go home again, words which certainly apply to the Southern California that existed prior to, say, the middle 1960s, and what's there today. But I must say that the people and the place of your childhood sounds infinitely more fascinating, interesting, and charmingly eccentric. When you go home, is it still pretty much the same or has "progress" changed it all into another landscape and portrait? I'm with Christine! I too want to know your second name. C'mon Penni . . . your public eagerly anticipates your answer. BTW,the weather here has turned suddenly ominous, with rain pouring down in sheets, dense fog, fierce winds, and trees bent nearly to the ground. I may make a sudden, forced exit from cyberspace if the power brownouts start, as they often do in this type of weather pattern. But I'll be around in spirit. <vbg> Holly
