You and Me and Baby Makes Three: San Mateo, California 1968




On the seventh day of your marriage David returned from his trip to Healdsburg in a blue bread delivery truck with it's one front seat and cargo area in back. You pack your things and 
drive up El Camino Real to the Stanford Motor Inn.You count David as your first because you will not count your father and this night you trust this boy who begged for a child every day and cried his eyes out if you balked or bled with another period. You feel very grown up and purchase a small bottle of Mateus wine in a beautiful short and silk screened Spanish bottle. You sip and talk love and a baby and your move to a little cabin that seemed to be slipping off Fitch Mountain in Healdsburg, the very next day.
