My humans are out of practice. Not only do I want my water by my food bowl,
I want THEIR glass of water at the sink.
It is not there yet. I must stare
at them until they get me MY water!
My morning walk took me around the glorious streets of Santa
Nella. Not much to see but a motel and a
huge mobile home community, but at least I could get off the highway and away
from the big rigs. I did get a coffee
stir stick at Starbucks to better secure my orchid flower. I hope it works.
We readied Hannah and headed north on I5 towards Rick and
Sue's in Grass Valley. Oh, wait, let's
stop and pick up a new water filter pitcher because someone (I won't name
names) did not secure it when we left and it was thrown to its death on the
bumpy roads. That done, let's stop to
eat a quick lunch. Now that we think of
it, why don't we stop and buy some food for a nice breakfast for everyone. Are we there yet? We have been gone all of 24 hours and we have
made a gazillion stops already! And
pulling into parking lots with a trailer is always an adventure.
It is always a treat to visit Rick and Sue. They have 43 acres so it is easy to set up
Hannah on their property. Although we
can hook up to electricity, it is not strong enough to run the air conditioner,
but the nights cool down nicely, so that is not an issue. And our rig is in the shade for most of the
day so it isn't bad for Rudy or my
orchids. And the stir stick seems to
have worked on my orchid... for now. Oh
it is so pretty!
There is lots of wildlife in this area. We have seen coyotes, foxes, wild turkeys and
deer. The caretakers (Harl and Julia)
told us they just saw a mountain lion, and a bear was walking down the driveway
the other day. And there is a bobcat
that has been hanging out below the pond.
Of course, the geese fly in like a motorcycle gang onto the pond. We tried to take Rudy outside on his leash
and he didn't want any part of it! He is
happy just looking out the windows.
We have known Rick and Sue since 1982 - before we were even
married. Through the years, we have
skiied, water skiied, sailed, camped and generally frolicked around
together. Rick was diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis about 20 years ago.
So there has been a slow deterioration in his motor skills. But he is still cute! So Spouse spent the evening with Rick while
Sue and I went to play bunko with all of her friends. This was my maiden voyage into bunko and I
had lots of fun. But... I LOST! Could it have been the wine? Oh well...
Got back to Hannah late and was glad to hit the bed.

The view from Rick and Sue's deck is beautiful. Ahhhh...
