I was in the snow making business in the late 90's. But prior to that - visiting my mom's parents as a kid.

Yeah they had a place in La Jolla - but to me? California is that certain "light" in late afternoon shining on the Lake.

And me saying "It's so cuuute" and Grampa taking 4 steps at a time to the pier deck and saying "but its mother is not!" 😄

The house (log cabin) he built for 16/17K in 1961 burned down in the 2006 fire. Sad.
