FAMILY
Our great niece Addison's 11th birthday was this week. We face timed with her and the rest of the family. I can't believe she is 11. Where did that little girl go?

VOLUNTEER WORK AND MEETINGS
Met with Adelle & Linda about RemCom. Linda is stepping back from committee but this was planned all a long. I will miss her input but can always contact her with questions. 

Attended CGS webinar "Using the National Archives Website." Great handout with lots of links. 

GRIP Welcome call was Sunday and I was able to attend even thought it was Father's Day. The call was only 30 minutes. 

LISA  CALL
Met with Lisa but for the life of me I can't remember what we talked about. 

AMIGOS CALL (LISA, LINDA, STEWART)
Same here. Can't remember what we talked about and that is really sad. 

JAUNTS
Spent Saturday afternoon with our neighbors Barbara and Noel. Barbara taught us how to make her incredible caesar salad dressing. 

Adam took us to Page Mill Winery for Father's Day. We went home after and he and his dad BBQ'd bacon wrapped shrimp and I made a caesar salad with Barbara's incredible dressing. Adam even said it's the best dressing he has ever had. It's so yummy!

GARDENING
We pulled up the rest of our garlic, including the elephant garlic. The bulbs need to dry for a week or so. We did share some of the ones we already dried with Barbara for the caesar dressing. We harvested potatoes for the first time and additional onions. The potatoes are so tender.

"A good man does not take what belongs to someone else." (Pueblo Proverb) 1 We stopped to get gas in Tehachapi, and I left my phone in the bathroom. I went back to check, and it was gone... Damn'it!!!! Asked everyone in the place if anyone had turned it in, and of course not. So we told the rest of the group to go ahead and we will catch up. Used the MyFind app to turn it off. Called T-Mobile to suspend my account. I reset important passwords just in case. I felt devastated. We took off and talked about whether to replace it or not. I was not a happy camper.  The drive was harrowing. Over San Bernadino mountains, Bristol mountains (2700 ft.), down through Mojave National Monument, over and down the Sacramento Mountains into Needles. We experienced cross winds most of the drive, which made it hard to drive straight.    I called ahead and found a T-Mobile store in Bullhead City. Once we hooked up, we drove to Bullhead City, passing through California, Arizona, California th

My Man! Steps today - 14,442 Saturday, and so much for sleeping in. The Reynolds daughter Brook, son-in-law Aaron, granddaughter Kensley, and grandson Arik arrived this morning. Soon we heard Kensley and Arik at our door to say hello. They seemed excited to see us, and they gave big hugs to both of us. Then, they told us about school, and everything they have been doing, as much as an 8 and 10-year-old can say to you. Then back over to abuela and papa's RV.  Soon after, we were off to Pismo Beach. We drove to the left, went as far as we could, then turned around and headed toward the far-end gate. The part of the beach you can drive on was so short compared to before, but it was due to the recent storms. The Reynolds were ahead of us, and as we passed the first gate, a guy flagged us down. His truck was stuck, and he needed a tow to get out of the hole he was in. Barry said sure, and I texted the others to let them know what was happening. They pulled off of the beach highway and w

Pacific Coast Village Site #382 JEEPS - 5 (Tuesday), 22 (Thursday) We left home on Monday, June 26th , for Pismo Beach. We are staying at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort for the first time. They have 400 sites. We made the reservations six months ago. We normally stay at Oceano State Beach RV Park, but we wanted to try this place. We are here with Jan & Ken Reynolds. This place does not let you choose a site; they will only tell you your site number the morning you check-in. This is also a place you can join for $50,000, and you get the first pick of sites...ridiculous. You can store your RV at the resort storage across the street. If you are a member, they will bring your RV to your site for you, one perk for the fifty grand. We checked in around 4:30 PM on Monday. The Reynolds are two sites from us and checked in about thirty minutes before us. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. We hooked up and headed to Old Juan's Cantina in Oceanside. We love this place, especially its huge margarit
