For those faithful followers, we thank you! As you know, we have been VERY BOARD waiting to get our "new roof" over our heads, so Dad said he was going to take Mom and I for a "little" ride and lunch yesterday! Well, we ended up in WATERLOO, CA! Dad took Hwy 88 to Waterloo and on the way back he took Hwy 4, and we went over Ebbetts Pass (8,730 feet in elevation). We ended up at the "Fruit Bowl" - a road side fruit stand near Stockton, Ca. Dad wanted to go visit his "shirt tailed" relatives - some how Dad is related to the owners. We had a nice lunch and Mom and Dad did some shopping for goodies. Mom really wanted a peach pie, but we didn't have room in the trailer for it, so Mom said she wants to come back when we get our new digs! Either that, or she will make her own!
Mom took a bunch of pictures while we were driving - here's a sample:

Speaking of the new digs - we got word that escrow is supposed to close on October 31st (Mom said that was the day she met Dad! - another omen, she said) - and we get a walk through on Monday, October 24th. When we get the keys, Mom and Dad have a big list of things to do, but in the mean time, we still have to sit and wait.
Mom and Dad have been doing a lot of comparison shopping on the computer, looking for appliances and stuff. I just want my doggie door and my box of toys - don't forget my box of toys!
