OMG!! It is so hot here in Bakersfield, CA and I love it!! It is 82 anc climbing. We are in A Country RV Resort and it is so beautiful. Talk about coincidences, the guy next to us is a retired electrician from Ken's local!!!
Since we didn't tow a vehicle behind the motor home we are kind of strapped for shopping or going to restaurants so I will have left over spaghetti and salad.
We might stay here another night as it is such a nice place and oh so clean. The lawn is neat. It is a putting green everywhere.
Well, will get off of this thing and sit still so I can catch the breeze coming in the windows.
Until later...

What a beautiful morning! The sun is shining and the rain has stopped.
We will be going to Bakersfield, CA for the night. It is a 5 hour drive from here and we will continue to relax.
We are going over to take our showers in a few after we have our coffee.
Nothing new to report for today but maybe in the morning.

...and I forgot some things that needed to be added from our trip yesterday.
We saw 3 bald eagles next to the road and so many egrets we can't count them all. The egrets were all white and so beautiful.
We are here in Lodi, CA at a beautiful RV Park called
Flag City RV Resort. It has some gorgeous rigs in here and the flowers, all around your coach instead of grass. I will have Ken take some pictures and send them out.
We are all set up and I got vacuumed inside so now I can sit and just rest.
It is too far for Ken to walk to get dinner since we don't have a tow rig so I will cook chicken fried steak, fresh WA asparagus and scalloped potatoes. Hum, that even sounds good to me.
Coco got on the bed last night and stayed under the covers all night. The only time she moved is when I put her between the two of us and then she went right back to sleep until after 6 this morning. She is such a good traveler.
It is 73 degrees here, breezy and absolutely delightful. My arthritis fingers feel wonderful.

FINALLY!!! We drove from Kennewick, WA to Redding, CA. 600 miles. We won't do that again it is just too tiring but there was snow in La Pine near Bend, OR and we wanted to get out of the mountains. So here we are. Here are a couple of photos Ken took of the rig and surrounding area, so pretty. Today we are driving to Corning, CA to the Olive Pit, yum! Then on to Lodi, CA where we have made reservations.
We at dinner at 9:00 pm last night, too late, much too late and didn't get to bed until after 10:00 pm. So tonight we will watch TV, relax and enjoy some of our stuffed olives.
Ken is doing his nebulizer this morning and took his dieretic and then off on our journey once again. It is cloudy but who cares, it is warm.
The motorhome drove like a dream and as Ken says, I drive, he just steers and moves the peddles.
Until later...

Today is the day!!! We will load the last of our needed items into the coach and move forward to the hot country! It has been raining for the past 2days and it is going to get worse today as the winds will come up to about 40 and possibly some hail!! Yuk.
Time to get a move on and take Coco to the Park for her morning constitution and short walk. Then home and start our new adventure. We are both excited to get going and hope the weather holds up for us just until we get to Bend or close to that area. We are going to take it slow and easy and just really enjoy all there is to see.
Send us a note once in a while, would love to hear from you.

Today we finish loading what we will not need until tomorrow morning when we load up our toiletries and we are OUT OF HERE!!!! We will probably stop in Bend or Corvalis for the night. We have decided to take our time and not push this trip as it will make it easier on both of us not to tire out too quickly. We want to enjoy it all.
We have tried everything that the coach has to offer and it all works well.
Coco doesn't know exactly what is happening but she makes herself very comfortable when she goes in the motor home. She blends right in with her coloring and the colors inside the coach.
I hope we get some sleep tonight. I know Ken will, he doesn't get like me. I get so excited thinking about all we are going to do and see that sleep won't come easy.
We saw another place in California called Borrego Springs. They have some beautiful homes for sale there and they are quite reasonable. It is a gorgeous community for Seniors. I believe the youngest you can be is 45 but no children. We might check it out on our way to Arizona.
No rest for the weary, got to go load more stuff and put it away.

We got most of our belongings put away in the motor home. What a back breaking day we had.
Today I will get groceries and fill up the fridge for the trip.
Here is a photo that our friends John and Sheila Archibald took when they came over to see the coach. I will add that John drove up in a Hummer H2 and all I wanted to know was Can We Tow It?!!! The thing is a tank!!
Anyway, here is that old couple that will be driving this rig, old and tired out. We need this trip to rest and relax.
Not sure if we will get on the road tomorrow, Saturday, or Sunday.
Until later...
