Family
Tuesday June 1st was my step-son Adam's 39th birthday. He had a get together at Nido's in Oakland. There were about 10-12 of us. We enjoyed Mexican food and margaritas. It was fun meeting his girlfriend for the first time. 

Garden
The wildflower seeds I planted are starting to bloom. They are so pretty. The 3 flower photos below are from the wildflower seeds. 

The green bean seeds I planted last week are starting to come up. I might try to can some this year. 

Volunteer Work & Meeting
Spent about 3 hours this weekend scheduling surveys for CGS upcoming classes. I still have 4 more for July to schedule. 

I  hosted a CGS webinar Tuesday and met with a presenter for a future date I'm hosting this month. 

Lisa Call
Lisa spent the weekend pulling land records for one of her Lancaster ancestors. She shared the spreadsheet she put together. 

Discussed ordering docs from NARA when they open again. 

Talked about doing a round table for CGS. 

Amigos Call  (Lisa, Linda, Stewart)
We decided to cancel this  week.

Trips
I made RV reservations at a winery in Lodi for later this month. I also made future reservations, including 2 dates with our friends Ken & Jan and a trip next year. I didn't realize how much time this takes. 

I put together a spreadsheet to keep track of our upcoming RV trips and organizations we belong too.

"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

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

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
