Plans 10-5-07

We have just been doing our usual the last several days. I can’t think anyone wants a run down of when we eat our meals, what we eat, what we are reading, when we take a walk, etc. Pictures of all that would be worse!

We went into Fresno on Wednesday to see their Underground Gardens, but they were closed (so much for recorded messages of schedules). We stopped at a different Walmart and drove around for food and to find Von’s, so we saw quite a lot of the city and we were very surprised. Fresno just seems to be one of those cities that no one goes to unless you are visiting someone or your corporation sends you there for a meeting because it is kind of the half way point between Southern California and Northern California. It was clean, had nice wide boulevards and was easy to navigate. All the people we ran into were friendly and helpful, it was a refreshing experience!

These first two pictures are how Candy Corn grows in the Midwest and the Southwest…I figured a lot of you didn’t know this.

We leave here on Sunday and head up to Ukiah for a week. Larry needs to get some test equipment and tools out of storage and I want to swap out my summer clothes for my winter clothes. I guess we’ll get a few visits in with the kids too…smile.

Then we head for Quincy, Ca. We plan on staying there for a month. Larry is doing some work there for a friend and I’ll have time to get started on a project I have put off. Then it will be back to Ukiah for the Thanksgiving holiday and then up to Albany, Oregon for the Christmas holidays with Michelle. We will be there until after New Years and then we don’t have any plans. We will head south but where that will be we don’t know yet. We think we’ll just roam around, but who knows. It has been our experience that all of the above could change in a heartbeat.

April will have us back in Ukiah for Andrea’s wedding and then mid May we want to be in Oregon for the spring bloom of azaleas and iris’s. There are two huge iris growers up near Salem, Oregon and we keep catching the end of the bloom season. So now you know as much as we do…scary.

These last pictures are of a couple of different sunsets here through the Oak trees. Today is cold and cloudy but will be back up in the 80’s next week…sorry we’ll miss it.

P.S. the candycorn pictures were taken at Disney California Adventure
