On the Road Again!

Auntie Violet is HAPPY! She has made it plain that she is ready to roll!




She was feeling pretty cocky because I put the beautiful roses that Forry got me for Mother's Day on her dash -- I think she thought they might be for her? They look white in the photo, but they are actually a very pale yellow.

What do you do when your husband presents you with two dozen beautiful roses and you no longer own any vases (we down-sized, remember)? Ah, ha a waste basket! It worked very well and the basket sat very nicely in the kitchen sink as we traveled today.

I made a quick run Albertson's in Ranch San Diego this morning to get milk, cereal and OJ while Forry dealt with Auntie Violet's dirty floors. I returned just in time to tell the new crew good-bye as they left for church in San Diego. By noon we were ready to roll.

We traveled on 94 up to Interstate 8, then took Hwy 15 north to Hwy 395, then Hwy 58 to Hwy 14 to Mojave where we are staying at Sierra Trails RV Park. We're parked in their pull-through slot #3 for $13.25 a night.

We were driving almost due east of Santa Barbara and all of the valleys were hazy and full of smoke:


What a surprise to begin to see Joshua trees:


Here's a picture of Auntie Violet and the Toad, nicely settled in for the night:
