DON'T PAY THE RANSOM

Ok, so I didn't even get this published right away. I hope the picture was worth the wait. That is ultimately what holds up publication.

wish I could say we have been kidnapped or sick or something. It all boils down to laziness, I guess. I just haven't taken time to write.

So I'm going to start with where we are now, what we are doing and work my way backward.

Tonight we are Aromas,(not pronounced like smells), CA. We spent the day doing business that should be done at home but obviously can't be. Larry got the tag on the RV renewed. It only took half a dozen emails, three or four phone calls, two trips to get signed documents, one forty-mile trip and a joking (I think) threat to contact the governor. Nothing is ever easy, huh?

I got cortisone shots in both knees, and I am ready to dance tonight. We met the sweetest, talkingest doctor in Gilroy, CA, home or the Gilroy Garlic Festival. I googled this event and found some of the offerings to include: Escargot, mushrooms, Free garlic ice cream, Wine, wine coolers, Mimosas,Garlic salmon, hot wings,Noodles with garlic and fresh vegetables, teriyaki chicken,Garlic sautéed mussels, Vietnamese pork sate salad, Mediterranean octopus salad, Dried garlic/floral head garlands, parasols.  This are just small sampling of the list of  items offered by the more than 60 vendors. Sure wish I could be here in July for this event. Alas, or hopefully, I will be in Alaska.

Yesterday we were in Paicines, CA, at the San Benito RV resort. I really liked the place; Larry not so much. It is by far the quietest place we have been. You could hear nary a truck, helicopter, airliner, crotch rocket...nothing. I couldn't believe it. And the wildlife, O my. A few deer, acting more like deer than those in Texas. They still traversed the park, but they were very skittish of humans. The ground squirrels and gophers had their way. In some places we were sure there were wild hogs like those we had seen signs of in Florida because of the way the ground was torn up. Hey, Easterners, did you know a squirrel could live UNDERGROUND. Really fun to watch them dart in and out. And of course the gophers reminded us of Caddy Shack. But the newest burrower we saw was this little creature.






No, you didn't miss a pic. My husband bought a new camera. It has limited download capability, limited by people of average tech experience. I begged him to get a camera that was compatible with our capabilities. Not for him Anyway, all you got is my words.  Sorry for you.
