There couldn't be a more pleasant place to be on this, the longest day of the year than right here, in The heartland of America. We are staying at the lovely home of Jim and Carmen Loveland, which has become a favorite stop of mine as I cross the country. The Lovelands always throw a neighborhood BBQ while we are here, so it's like getting together with longtime friends. Folks living in this cul-de-sac of nine spacious homes have been friends and neighbors for 30 years. Our two dogs were welcomed by Jim & Carmen's two dogs and another neighbor dog who showed the girls around the neighborhood. No fences here!
I met Jim Loveland about six years ago when he was assigned as a Law Enforcement Professional (LEP) to the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base. He rented my guest house for several weeks, and I met Carmen when she came out for a visit. We have enjoyed a friendship that reaches across America. Happy Summer Solstice! Love, LIz
