Thelma and Louise

Linda and I decided to take a long "girls only" weekend and drive to California. We had a blast! We split the driving up and drove straight thru going and coming back. We stayed in Cloverdale at Dad's/Grandpa's house (Boy was Grandpa happy to have us visit). We crammed alot into our three days there. Here's some of the stuff we did......

We stopped along the way in Truckee, CA & did a little shopping. Then, Linda decided to climb a tree at Donner Lake.

Once at Grandpa's house, we spent a couple of days touring around San Francisco.

Can you tell we are having fun!














I PROMISE, we spent time with Grandpa. We even took him to the Zoo. He has a hard time walking long distances, so we piled the wheel chair in the car away we went! Grandpa had fun having Linda and I wheeling him around. And we had fun pretending we were gonna let him go rolling down a hill! Thanks Dad/Grandpa for taking us the the Casino buffet and for take such good care of us!
Thanks to Walt and Bob for being so supportive and not trashing the house while we too our "girl trip".

The Forgotten Son

Ok, so I feel like I need to explain myself. I'm still learning how to update this blog stuff. Getting pictures are not easy for me. When I was in North Carolina visiting Melissa; I finally got started with pictures of Melissa and Roxy downloaded. The only problem was I didn't have any of Bob and Linda on her computer. "No problem", I said "I'll just put the other pictures on when I get home". I get home -- my computer is DEAD. Dead enough that I need a new one. Oh no! Bob and Linda aren't on the blog yet. No problem, he probably won't read it and notice -- I'll just go to their place and update with their pictures. Well, Bob noticed he wasn't on the blog. Oh, he noticed all right. He gave me a little bit of hell for it. "oh, you have a picture of Roxy, Melissa, and Hannah -- it's like you don't have any other children"..... Yep, I have been apologizing all morning. So, Bob -- this space is dedicated just to you and Linda. You are the best. I love you and Linda and Maggie and Jasper too (the kitties).
