Ryan and Amanda’s
Steps – 4,006

Today is the day before we leave. Barry was up and started packing his BBQ and our chairs, firepit, etc. Kids have school today. We went to Fred Myer to check out how to get into their propane area and gas up the jeep, also off to Safeway, then to a liquor store for Prickly Pear Margarita mix for Roma and tequila for us. 

All humans are home by four-ish and ready to eat dinner. We planned to go to Blacksmith’s tonight. It’s a Pub with fixed food trucks. The Pub area is a big open warehouse with many tables and chairs. Amanda and I had Margaritas. Not as good as Diego’s, but not bad. Barry was happy they had RPM IPA. I think Ryan got an Old Fashion. We went to The Kilted Kitchen; Barry ordered The Bruce, a brisket sandwich, and me, The Wallace, a pulled pork sandwich. He wanted The Scotty Dog, a hot dog, but Tucker ordered ahead of us and got the last one. The fries were sliced very thin and scrumptious. We have never had them that way. Everyone loved their dinner. Addison, Barry, and I bought tee shirts. It was the perfect place to end our last night with the kids. 

Oh, wait!!!! One more crazy game of Sequence. Amanda was still trying to maintain her “game composure.” During the game, Ryan had to try sips of our scotch, ‘Ol Pultaney,” which is Barry's ancestors' scotch from Scotland, and Sassenach, Sam Heughan, from the Outlander series Scotch. He loved both. I do not think I mentioned before, but Tucker calls his dad Ryan while playing games, and it is just too funny. We won one game, and I think everyone else did too. We played a few—so much fun.

Off to bed since we have a travel day tomorrow.

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

June 26 through June 30, 2023 Pismo Beach

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

Week 52 – Theme "Future" – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks This is my first year working on this year-long weekly writing prompts provided by Amy Johnson Crow and posted on her Generations Cafe Facebook page. I will do my best to write something each week.  THREET FAMILY PHOTO FUTURE PROJECT Back Row-Billie Mack, Donal Dean, Samuel, Wilma Sue, Willie, Floyd Junior, James Elice Front Row-Ernie, Sylvia, Bruce Travis, Clara Marie, Sandra Kay, Roger Dale The above photo is of my father’s family. My father was born Billie Mack Threet, AKA Billy Max Threet, and has ten siblings. I do not know when he changed the spelling of his first and middle names. This is a something I would like to narrow down in the future.  Another 2022 future goal I have is to write a small piece about each of his siblings and parents. I don’t know much about the early years of dad’s family or vital records dates, but my future goal of 2022 is to try to write down what I do know and possibly learn something new. H
