A Major Perk of Our Lifestyle

One of the joys of our great country is its size and diversity, but therein lies also one of its major challenges: our families are so spread out across this land that visiting with each other can be very difficult. And that's one of the best parts of our lifestyle: living in our motorhome allows us to not only see the sights but to meet and visit with relatives and friends whom we otherwise would not see. So, on this trip to California we were able to spend a wonderful day with Meg's cousins Leota and her Daughter Sherry whom she had never met before. We visited over a great seafood lunch, then discussed family history until dark.
It was lots of fun and we look forward to the next time.

There's always time for more geocaching and there are many caches in the Southern California area near SabrinaMeg's searching out one near our campsite at San Dimas' Puddingstone Lake.


A license plate we spotted that could have been on Sabrina's car:


Sometime after my Mother and Father (he was always known as "Bruce") were divorced (I was six years old at the time) he married Virginia (Ginny.) They lived in Southern California for many years, and we've had the opportunity to meet there several times and get acquainted with them. Bruce died this past December at age 89. We visited with Ginny in February. We had a lovely lunch together and spent the day reminiscing about my Father and their life together, and she passed on to me several of his personal items that I cared about. Thanks, Ginny, for taking such good care of Bruce through his life.
