Southern California

So we left Mohave and headed for LA. We had chosen the campground where we wanted to stay, so I put the address for the campground into Barry's girlfriend, (Fatsy Montana, the GPS unit) and away we went. Well, I don't know if she was hormonal or what her deal was but she took us up over the mountains coming to Valencia. It was a gorgeous drive, and no traffic, but very very steep. Once again we were glad we had the big ol' truck. So we cruised into Valencia and to our campground. Fatsy wasn't aware of the road construction, but it was close to the campground so we would see where we were supposed to go, so it all worked. Nice campground, very large, over 380 sites. One of Barry's friends from Hart High now lives on Bethel Island in Northern CA is staying at the campground so that is fun. The reunion was cocktails Friday night, dinner Sat. night and a picnic on Sunday. It was very nice. One of Barry's classmates had his '49 Woody there and it was very cute. Barry loved that. We danced a little Saturday night after dinner and there was a lot of visiting going on.
Sunday I didn't go to the picnic as Barry's aunts were coming to the campground to see us, so I stayed at the house in case Barry didn't get back in time. We had a nice visit with them. They are Barry's Mom's sisters, and one is about Barry's age, a very spread out family they were.
We found some farmer's markets on Saturday so got some good fresh stuff, oranges, grapefruit, tomatos, cukes, etc. No spinach tho....hummm wonder why. Now I read that lettuce is now suspect, guess we will have to give up salad and just eat chocolate! Now when they decide chocolate is tainted, I will be really upset. We will go back to the markets tomorrow before we head North on Wednesday.
The weather has been very nice here. Cool at night and warm during the day. It was a little foggy this AM but it burned off pretty quick. Ok, so now we are up to date. Later
