Seriously! It’s been how many months since I last posted?
Yeah, last July I guess. Bummer, all those good summer adventures
long gone. Lets see if I can hit the high lights at least.
Clyda is doing well with her ankle replacement. She still has pain
but feels it is at least stable. Pain will probably disappear over
time. As he DR says when she complains, “Has it been a year yet?”
We
have done a couple of trips this
summer including an RV trip
to Pismo Beach camping with Budd and Brenda, 4 days with Cindy and
Gary in Walnut Creek as a last hurrah before summer ends, and then
a flight to Bellingham, WA to celebrate our Great Nieces
4th
birthday the beginning of
Oct. Nothing like a 4 year
old celebrating her birthday! It was a great trip.
Tim came in the middle of Oct and spent a week here before he and I
drove to Las Vegas to begin our 3 week fall trip. We visited a lot of
new areas around Las Vegas some of which were on unpaved roads, the
best kind really. We followed that up by going to Death Valley for
our annual encampment.
We continued our campaign of collecting Mylar balloons wherever we find them in the desert. This year we collected 47. We post the results on our Facebook page at Desert Balloon Recovery Crew and turn in the balloons themselves to the National Park Service where they plot the GPS pickup points for all balloons found within Death Valley National park.
Clyda and I joined our friends Cindy and Gary in Walnut Creek for one
night before flying to Kauai for a week at their timeshare in November. A good
week but lots of wind which really didn’t hamper our activities
except on the day we left when a wind and rain storm caused us to
change our plans. All was well however. On arriving back at Walnut
Creek we stayed and had Thanksgiving as we have had for the last 3
years at Cindy and Gary’s Son and Daughter-in-laws house. We
appreciate being “part of the family.”
We leave tomorrow for a 4-day Coastal Cruise out of Los Angeles. We
are joined on this trip by friends from the Elks Club. It was one of
those spur of the moment decisions as in “Look at this Price, - lets
do it.”
December is a busy month for us as we do another week long cruise as
soon as we finish the 4-day cruise. This one is to the Mexican
Riviera again with Cindy and Gary. We will remain in San Diego with
them for Christmas at their daughters house.
Sorry, no photos today as I am doing this at the last minute while
packing.
