an apple a day

my friend, sue, is visiting from colorado. we have been friends for nearly nine years now. she was my counselor when i was yw's president in our ward, her husband, scott, was our bishop. he also served as our high councilor when pat was bishop in ripon ward, so they go pretty far back.

at any rate, sue did not have any plans today. first i thought we would just hang out around the house. then this morning i thought, 'why would we do that? there are so many things we can do around here!'

so i gave her and rach a few options, one of which was half moon bay, then i suggested the foothills and sue immediately said, 'apple hill!' within an hour we were on our way. we had no idea if there would be much to do on a weekday, but we were in luck! the three main places our family goes to were open, with some of the vendors there, and all of the apple goodies being sold...yay! the weather was a cool 60 degrees, so we were a bit chilled, but it was beautiful there! (as always)

i am grateful that there are so many things to choose from when you want to get out of manteca (and who wouldn't?) and that we could drive to apple hill and have a wonderful time there.
