Wish You Were Here

Sarah Sammis

Buellton is another one of those cities on our list of "pit stops." Before I married Ian, I had never been to Buellton except when en route to it's next door neighbor, Solvang. Solvang was on my family's short list of vacation spots when I was a child.

Meanwhile, Ian grew up going to Buellton en route to other places to stop at Pea Soup Anderson's for the Traveler's Special. So when we were making our initial move up to the Bay Area from South Pasadena we ate a lot of soup at Pea Soup Anderson's (both in Buellton and in Santa Nella). Then before the kids were born we'd stop at for pea soup if we took the 101 down to see our family.

Since moving to the East Bay and having easier access to the I5, we haven't stopped in Buellton as frequently as we used to. We did, however, stop on our Saturday drive down to Santa Barbara. Ian had been driving since King City but he hadn't slept well and really wasn't up to finishing the drive. So we stopped for refreshments while the kids slept in the back and then I took over. Since we were almost to our destination, we didn't stop for soup.

my mom loves these books and she checked some out of the library just for me. i enjoyed this book though it took me a while to get through. the only qualm i have about it is that it was the gay man who did the crime and then gets murdered. also the forgiveness for some of the racists in crozet was very displeasing for me, however i have a very strong urge to read another 🫣
