As we drove out of SFO toward the east and Fairfield to be with Pastor Stonestreet and family, we saw many signs. One said The San Francisco Bridge is using $100 billion of Foreign Steel. It should be Made in the USA. Apparently the additional bridge is being constructed at a huge cost-overrun and some US steel companies are not happy. Why am I not surprised? When government does anything, it always costs way more than if private companies would do. But that is another issue not for this blog.
The writing on the hill says South San Francisco, The Industrial City. The hills were barren, seemingly, as there were no tall trees. The housing has the Southwest flavor to it.
The Stonestreets have three dogs--two German shepherds and a smaller breed. She was very happy to see us. :-) There are also four birds, one a mackaw.
Pastor grilled ribs--yummy--and special treat. Janet made marvelous slaw with ramen noodles, and baked beans and corn on the cob.
Sara found a new friend.
That evening we went to an Eagle Scout ceremony involving a young man from the church. It was so heartwarming to see these young men demonstrate what the Scouts are all about--honor, truth, honesty, patriotism and love of God. Matthew is the second son of this family to reach this level. The Dad is a scoutmaster, too.
