A WHIRLWIND 4 DAYS

Due to the lack of an Internet connection in Jamestown, the 4 days that we were parked at Everett and Lori's, were back in the dark ages, so to speak. It's amazing how reliant we have become on today's technology. On the first of those 4 days, we drove to Stockton, CA. to visit my Aunt Martha. We spent a couple of hours catching up with what has occurred in our lives during the last year, particularly, learning about Martha's trip last summer to Montana. She is doing well, still driving, living in her home of many decades, and maintaining her independence with visits from daughter Diane. Patty and I are looking forward to a visit with Martha's daughter, Karen, and her husband Dan, later this summer in Coos Bay, OR. On one of the days in Jamestown, Everett, his cousin Ray, and I rode Harley's down to Art & Linda's Tulloch Lake house, where we met Art. From there, we rode up to the top of Priest Grade, and had lunch at Priest Station. We ended the ride back in Jamestown, where I touched base with some of the familiar faces at Jamestown Harley-Davidson, and visited with a few of the old customers. In between all of the running around, we dropped our Beagle Sami, off at the Vet for a fatty tumor removal, and her annual teeth cleaning. She ended up spending 2 nights with the Vet, but everything turned out better than we expected, so she is doing well at almost age 13. On Saturday morning, we said so long to Everett and Lori, and thanked them for their super hospitality. As I've said before, we always look forward to our stops in the old hometown, where good friends like Everett, Lori, Art and Linda, make the time very special. The drive to where we are currently, the Thousand Trails near Grass Valley, was about 4 hours, and we arrived late afternoon on Saturday. Yesterday, we drove about 30 miles to where our friends Bob & Jeanette are camp hosting at a Forest Service Campground on the Yuba River. Hopefully, tomorrow, I'll catch up with the time, and the blog will once again be current.
