A ROAD TRIP

These pictures are from a recent road trip we took. We drove up to Mount Shasta and on to Shasta lake. It is sooo pretty up there and not very far from here. The snow is so pretty(as long as it is there and not here).

We took a trip home this week. We had some things to do and we also got to pick up Nicholas. He is going to spend a little over a week with us. So far it has been great. He worked with David all day today. He got the pleasure of cleaning bathrooms, lighting fire pits and escorting RV's to their site. We made him a little uniform shirt so he looked really cute. He held up from 2 in the afternoon to 8:30 when he came home with me. He is so excited to have a job that he will get paid for.

While we were home, we had Paula and her new husband up to the house for dinner. It was nice to finally meet Arnold. He is a very nice person.

A week from this coming Tues. Michelle is going to have surgery so I am going there to see if I can help her out. The week after that is our 30th anniversary. Who would have known?

It is late and my brain is dead so until next time...Happy Camping

Still Crazy after all these years

No big news from here. We have been going to Sacramento now every day off and making the trek back to the RV. We got home last night around 11:00 after going to my Moms and doing more clean-up, bill paying, etc. We would like to make a trek home pretty soon but we'll see how that goes. We are both working 3 days a week and both of us just got a raise !! Today the weather is nice but of course it's laundry, cleaning, ironing and washing the truck for us. David had his bike stolen so he is really unhappy about that. It wasn't an expensive bike but he used it every day. Now all he has is his Trikke. He can ride that pretty good. I can't even get it going. Well, guess that's all for today.
Hope everyone is doing good.

SNOW ON THE WAY TO RENO MOLLY'S FIRST LOOK AT SNOW

MY MOM RELAXING AT HOME GRAND DAUGHTER MIRANDA'S ROOM

MICHELLE AND RAYMOND'S NEW HOUSE

On this weeks days off, we

of course were going to Sacramento to see my Mom. At the last minute, we decided to go via Reno. We had never taken the road from here to Reno. We started out on highway 36, which goes thru Chester, and drove thru some beautiful areas. There was alot of snow still on the ground, in the trees and along side of the road. Molly got her first look and feel of snow. I don't think she was real crazy about it. When we got to Reno, we were able to find a hotel that would let us have Molly in the room.

We spent the night and then went on to Sacramento. We went to my Moms the next morning. I helped her get her checkbook balanced and some bills paid. Later in the day, we went to Raymond and Michelle's to see their new house. We had seen the house before they moved in but hadn't seen it since. They are still working on the unpacking but have all the painting, etc. done. Our Grand daughter Miranda is into the goth, vampire stuff so she designed her own red room. We got to meet Allison's new boyfriend, Anthony while we were there. Another 2 hour drive and we were back at the 5th wheel in Red Bluff.

Today is Friday the 13th. I hear everyone on the TV saying it is an unlucky day. For me it is a very lucky day. My son Michael was born on Friday the 13th and David and I were married on Friday the 13th. So here's wishing all a very lucky day.

ANOTHER LONG TIME

I know it has been such a long time since I last posted to this blog. We are still in Red Bluff working. The weather here has been cold, wet and windy. But, today the sun is out and there is hope that spring will come soon.

We have been spending alot of time in Sacramento. My sister and her husband came out from Missouri to stay with my mom and her husband because they were not able to care for themselves. Yesterday, there was a big pow-wow with the county and the nurses to see if they were able yet to be on their own or if things would stay the same. My moms husband , of course, cussed out everyone.

My sister is leaving soon and as far as we can see there is no one else to care for them. Since he does not want anyone staying in his house, the best we can do is for someone to be there on a daily basis to check on them and to help them live their daily lives, we don't know yet how this is going to be accomplished.

The county said that it takes alot to change this and a great deal of time. I'm not sure what the outcome is going to be but I will post it when it gets here.

Other than that, we really haven't done much except travel between here and Sacramento. We haven't even been able to see our daughters new house in Sacramento because it's on the other side of town.

Today is the day that our friend Paula picks up her husband at the airport. This will be his first time being in the US. I'm sure it will be quite a culture shock for him. Best wishes to Arnold and Paula.

So as you see there has not been alot to write about so I haven't.

Kinda Happy Campers,
David and Carol
