We packed up in the morning Friday, Rita was really deep into the thick of planning the meals, Rob was wrapping up work while watching the weather reports and road conditions on Highway 4. Reports came in that the Colletts might not be coming up that day due to car trouble, possibly something about their…

River raft trip to Cache Creek Canyon in northwest Yolo County over the past weekend. It was another trip organized by Chris Hilton and his merry crew of ex-Adventure Guides families.<br />n<br />nCache Creek is not snowmelt, so it’s not cold water. Penny and I both tried our hand at guiding the raft. I was…

Rita’s side of the family, family reunion, at Union Valley Reservoir, halfway between Sacramento and Tahoe. Coolest thing I did was get my hydroslide (knee board) wet, getting pulled behind the boat. Don’t even know when the last time I was able to do that!j<br />n<br />nPlan was to head up there on Tuesday, June…

Last weekend, we camped in the RV at Uvas County Park, west of Morgan Hill. It rained nearly the entire time, though it spared us for the waterfall hike on Saturday afternoon, then again late Sunday morning. The falls were running nicely, beautiful area back in there, and I have to say, I’m pretty sure…

I was traveling overseas recently, and didn’t get around to telling my credit card company that I was going until I was already gone. So I logged into their website to send a secure message from my account. A couple days later, I got a reply that was pleasant enough, and they said for security…

Tahoe Trip, 30 Aug 2013, first full day<br />n<br />nI woke up around 8:30am. That is <str ong>SO</strong> late! Rita was already up. Coffee was made. After a leisure morning tweeting replies to Carlton Ave School, doing email, and after a breakfast of pancakes, I went outside to change out training wheels. But Harold said…

I worked all day at home, and finally quit about 5:30. Rita had been packing all the kids’ stuff and everything else into the garage, our staging area. Once I was done working, I packed up the bikes, including those of the Berry’s, into the trailer and we finally left around 7PM for dinner at…
