Yep Pete - direct from a visit to Bodega Bay a few years back . Saw the house and ate at the restaurant on the site of where the original stood but burnt down after the movie was shot . Tippi visits every year but we just missed her !

I am currently bringing-up 3 step grand daughters. I love shaping the way they think. I teach them to work as a team and not compete among themselves. Our world is changing, and the old mum, dad, 3 kids and the white picket fence have gone forever. If kids work together, they can all be winners. When we go places together - the oldest is the leader - she carries the money and shares it with the others. She does not like being the leader - stiff shit ? Some people just have bad luck. Where we live there is no university - they might all end-up in Albury sharing a house together with the other 3 kids in their family.

One of my friends commented that I always have a project. What I have always liked about my career as a scientist, is when people who have worked under me have moved on to get top jobs. I can think of about 4 so far. My step grand-daughters are lovely kids, and I shape the way they think about life. I train them to works as a team and not compete against each other. When we go out together, they are worth watching. In shops, they know they always need receipts for their purchases - their trading is very funny. It amazes me that in a dysfunctional situation, the kids learn to cope so well. Two of them come and go, every 2nd week.
