Day 181 with Ruby and Rocket

It’s Friday morning (30^th) and we’re here on Mission Bay in San Diego. I’m lounging in bed with Duncan passed out beside me. I think he’s having a gown day!

It was a great time in Guerneville. We managed to get things unpacked from when Chris brought up boxes in June. We’re now ready for the big delivery which will happen when we return. We did some wine tasting, bicycling and last Sunday kayaked down the river to the Jazz Festival.  Buddy Guy and BB King were headliners. Wild and crazy time!!! That morning we met Barb Mooney, Qwest, and her husband, Rick, and another couple from Alameda for breakfast. They were in town and headed to the jazz festival as well. It was great seeing her and catching up on Qwest news.

Wednesday we picked up Ruby from storage and headed south. We stayed somewhere in the middle of the grapevine and arrived yesterday in San Diego. Needless to say I was pooped from driving in all the traffic. Taking it easy today.

My sister, Paula, and Steve are coming for dinner tonight. Tomorrow we’ll head to Wickenburg and spend the night.

Bill is planning to ride in to town on Sunday and we’ll end up at Chris’ house. We’d love to see everyone if you can drop by. His address is 7815 N. Ironwood, Paradise Valley. I think we plan to arrive around 3 PM so please come by for a beer or a glass of wine and help us celebrate the conclusion of this adventure!!!

Take care – off to Wickenburg tomorrow

Day 167 with Ruby and Rocket

Hi – Hope all is well with everyone.

We’ve been in Guerneville now for about a week and a half after a hellacious drive from Reno. We left there on Labor Day which was stupid on our part and had to drive through Donnor Pass. It was not a fun drive in a Motor home with tons of traffic but I survived. We’re staying at the River Bend RV and Campground which is just down the road from Korbel Champagne and a few miles from our house. (Yeehaw!) We’re on the river so enjoying the view and action on the river. Duncan and I visit it often where he plays ball in the river until he can hardly walk.

This Sunday we can move in to our house as all the rentals will be over. We have to take out the dock and can start on any little projects and just sit on the deck and relax. We’re so looking forward to that.

We’ll be staying here until the 28^th when we start to head south. We’ll stay in San Diego the 29^th and 30^th then on to Wickenburg for the night of October 1. On October 2^nd (Sunday), Bill is planning to ride his bike in to Paradise Valley to Chris’ house where this all began. His hand is still swollen and sore so he won’t be riding down the coast. We hope to have a little get together on the 2^nd with beer and wine in the afternoon at Chris’. Well keep you posted on those details.

We’ve done a little wine tasting and been to dinner a little. We’re renting a car on Saturday for a week to move things out of Ruby and in to the house so will do some more fun stuff then.

Anyway – take care a will update as things progress.

Day 154 with Ruby and Rocket

It’s Friday afternoon and Bill and I are getting ready to hit the road tomorrow. Shocker!! We’ve been here almost 3 weeks but it’s time to move on. The weather is turning a little colder so need to go to warmer climates in California.

We’ve done some bicycling this week which has been good. Also had some field trips to town for dinner and shopping. We met our friends Tom and Suzanne for dinner and to see the HELP. Great Movie!!!

Bill went to town today to have his cast adjusted and we’ve done some cleaning today to get ready for our trip.

We head to Twin Falls tomorrow and then on to Reno on Sunday. Monday we’ll arrive at the River Bend RV Park on the river in Guerneville. We’ll stay there until we can get in to our house on the 18^th.

Bill sees the doctor in Hearldsburg on Tuesday so we should get an updated on his hand. It’s still swollen and black and blue. It’s difficult for him to ride up hills and have to break going down. Also changing a tire would be difficult so the rest in Guerneville will be needed.

Take care – off to Twin Falls tomorrow!!! Hope I remember how to drive this thing!
