On the Road - Day 48

Because it was hot yesterday, we had chosen Gridley RV Park for its pool and spa, only to find the spa in need of repair. Further, this morning we discovered the laundry had 4 machines, 1 of which was broken, and two tenants were doing their loads. So we decided to do laundry at Karyn's house (Vance's daughter). Used her laundry line for drying. So enjoyed pinning up the clothes, reminded me of Maine and the fresh air and children playing around the sheets, and "helping" fold.

Karyn and Joshua (growing tall grandson) live across the street from the library, so I had to get a picture. We relaxed and chatted before going to her mom's (Elsbeth) place.





There, we were given a tour of the house, saw their new skylights which really brighten the hall and rooms. Watched her birds and toured the garden. Lost myself in picking tomatoes and cukes. Ate cherry tomatoes as fast as I could pick them. Fun!





We loaded up the RV and all headed for lunch at Sizzler in Yuba City. Passed the Sutter Buttes, which Elsbeth called the "worlds shortest mountain range," on the way (see below).



Relaxed the afternoon away. Vance and Karyn napped, and Pat read while Joshua played Oblivion on the T.V. Pat folded laundry and (with Vance) stowed all away.




Had our first "company" dinner in the RV with Karyn and Joshua. We had hummus, cheese and crackers while the rest - green salad with the fresh picked cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and hot dogs with chili and onions - was being prepared. Popsicles for dessert.
In the evening Pat, Elsbeth, and Joshua played poker, crazy eights, and rummy. A good time for sure as we laughed a lot.
