August

Our summer adventure ended 3 weeks ago.

Poor Larry. He dropped his favorite GPS toward the end of our ride. Fortunately through one of the motorcycle forums he found someone that had the same GPS sitting around on a shelf.

We drove to Roseville to buy this relic (honest, it is older than dirt, no touch screen, no remote, no street names mentioned in the directions) for a reasonable price.

Nothing would have it but we drove secondary roads to get to Roseville. There were several turns that would have put us on dirt roads. We ignored Ms. GPS and ended up on a short section of dirt. Nothing like seeing the farm land in Northern California.

It was nice to visit with Larry's Aunt Rosemary in Sacramento and our friends in Wilton.

Sunday and Monday we set to work on the 5th wheel. Poor thing hadn't been used in 3 months. One type of ant had set up house in one of the walls....die you buggers, die! Now the 5th wheel is bug free and smelling fresh!

On returning home Larry installed the new kitchen faucet....one of my little projects that has been sitting around for years. It is SO nice. I haven't had a usable sprayer for years.

Yesterday we went to Santa Rosa where I purchased a new Husqvarna Viking sewing machine. (When we were in Sacramento I had seen one of these sewing machines in use and really liked it, but wanted to buy one closer to home.) Of course we also through in Macy's, COSTCO, Best Buy, Office Depot, Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Borders. There were a couple places I wanted to stop at but just ran out of energy!

I drove home via Ukiah so that we could go to Lucerne for Thai food. Looked forward to it all the way up Hwy 101...unfortunately the quality just wasn't up to par.
