Shrangli-La, Sacto Style




We are off to spend the night with my brother in Sacramento, CA. Earlier in the week a neighbor said he had just come from Sacto, and it had been over 110 degrees. I noticed it has cooled down, and the forecast is in the low 90's and high 80's for the next couple of days. Just as long as it's hot and the mojitos keep coming, I'll be fine. My brother's property is first rate. (He he, I didn't say terrific.) He has a giant cabana with built-in refrigerator, sink, bbq, ice chest, big bar, lounge area, 9ft deep swimming pool with waterfall, hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and numerous tables, etc.



My cousin has been there for a week.

She calls it her Shangri-la.

She'll be leaving and we'll be arriving.

Works for me.
