CARMEL, Calif.<\/strong> — Toby the Puppy and I came in search of some western beauty. We found a whole lot of it in this resort community.<\/p>\n

My sister and her husband brought us here for lunch and a little sightseeing. I no longer see the Pacific Ocean with the frequency I enjoyed when I lived in Oregon many years ago. Although I haven’t exactly been a stranger to it. My bride, Kathy Anne, and I were here just a few months ago. We came a couple of years before that. We traveled out west many times since moving to Texas in 1984.<\/p>\n

This trip was different, for reasons you know by now.<\/p>\n

Toby the Puppy and I came to this location. I told my sis I could listen forever to the sound of waves crashing ashore. It is soothing to my ears and my senses.<\/p>\n

We didn’t stay terribly long. I am happy to declare that I accomplished one of the missions of this journey, which was to see the ocean yet again.<\/p>\n

It’s still gorgeous!<\/p>\n

Oh, and just so you know, I saw no sign of the city’s most famous resident, former mayor Clint Eastwood. Dang! I hope he’s all right.<\/p>\n
