California here we come!

 It’s been a couple of day since I’ve posted. Our stay at Fort Stockton was pleasant. While we were setting up the trailer an entire flock of quail sauntered by.  I didn’t have my phone so no photos.

It rained like the dickens on Monday morning. It stopped raining right before we went out to break camp.  It was so cool outside and the smell of fresh desert rain was refreshing.

Wh had an uneventful drive to Las Cruces NM KOA. It’s one of our favorite camps. Nicely landscaped, spotlessly clean and very pleasant folks.



It drizzled a bit Tuesday morning to when breaking camp. Just enough to stop any dust.

We drive to the Tucson KOA and the drive was beautiful.






The Tucson KOA is a very nice campground. We did laundry in a clean facility that had a change machine. It costs a lot to wash and dry clothes. Homeless folks don’t have a chance of keeping clean clothes.

We ate dinner dinner out at the BBQ place at the KOA. It was very tasty. I’m a new fan of brisket tacos.

We are on our way to San Diego for a two night stay to visit Roy’s cousin George. We have to dry camp (no connections) but we’ll be on the navy base so we’ll be safe. 

Love  to all!!

We departed Copperas Cove, TX. We had a wonderful stay with Robbie and Sylvia. I need to fast for eight days to lose the weight gain. My Sylvia can cook and we ate way too much every day.  We got the crown molding installed and Robbie is caulking. There were one or two corners that needed extensive caulking but most went in well.  In addition to interior design, Sylvia is also a gardener. There are butterflies 🦋 and birds everywhere. They enjoy the yard as much as the humans. Roy and I have acquired a new skill. Identifying dead squished animals. Today I-10 west was quite busy:  A fawn 😟 Deer Skunk Porcupine  opossums Cougar  And a large bird of pray - Harris’s Hawk. I had to look up that one. Love to all! Grandma and FunPop

We are home and this odyssey is over.  It was a challenging last few days . . .  Las Vegas to Bakersfield, CA It was beautiful drive.  We lived in the Mojave Desert a few years ago and I had forgotten how beautiful the desert can be.  We arrived in Bakersfield early than expected and decided to go to camping world and Costco.  It was an expensive decision... We stopped at camping world to find a sewer pipe cap to replaced one that had cracked.  The cap isn't technically needed but I didn't want to see the inside.  It was an inexpensive cap so $6.59 later we were out the door and on our way to Costco for supplies. I gave Roy wrong directions and we turned into a residential area.  Roy found a small cul-de-sac and managed to turn around.  What we didn't realize until we arrived at Costco we lost our backup camera on the trailer.  Turns out we crimped the cable and we lost trailer running lights and backup camera.  We could drive durin...

DC/Maryland

 Good morning all! We left Long Island yesterday, September 7th, 2021.  Here are some pictures of our visit to Long Island -  Lois, Roy, Valerie and Linda (where’s Richard?) Us girls we’re off to the casino to celebrate Linda’s birthday. Right before we left BJ, our nephew came by to visit. We had not seen him in years. He is doing great! Here’s the family. Linda was the only winner at the casino. It was appropriate since we were celebrating her birthday. She was on a roll and we all gathered around to watch her play. We may have gathered also because we had already lost our gambling $$. 😆😁 Monday was spent at the house and Roy continued to look at his mom’s family photos. We brought a few with us and I now have many pictures of Roy and his family when they were young. So much laughter and love in the house. The drive to Maryland was pretty uneventful.  We drove through part of NYC on the way south and traffic was bumper to bumper. Interesting smells. We are visiti...
