I enjoy walking through Claremont and having people smile and say hello, even though we don't know each other. Is Claremont friendly because we are a small community, because we live in a great climate, or because California is laid-back? People in Chicago will not look you in the eye when passing.
Claire and I had a lovely shopping day together. We went to Target and the mall where she used her sense of style to help me choose clothes - skirts and dresses and pretty shoes, even!
Actually, the first place we went together today was the bike store where Claire's birthday present had been assembled and waited for her to pick it up. She rode it home a very happy camper. Then she took a ride this evening, and now she and Hal are out on bikes searching for microwave popcorn so we can watch The Wire (Netflix has found us in Claremont!).
