california

well here I am in California. Today is Thursday the 20th. I left my mothers today after spending a couple of days with her. I arrived at her house on Tuesday. I left Lake Tahoe on Sunday and arrived at my sons house in Sacramento. I stayed there over night and from there I went to my mothers. I arrived at my mothers on Tuesday. It was great seeing my mother and her husband. We just hung around and talked and fed all the animals. She has a dog, nine cats that stay outside, one gets to come in when she wants. She also feeds about eight deer every night, hundreds of birds, and some raccoons. The one raccoon just had babies. It was very hot,105 degrees. Wed. we went to church. I had a good time visiting and it gave me a chance to relax. I was able to get my bike serviced by a guy named Duane. He owns a business called Hawg Heaven. I had all the fluids changed and new spark plugs put in, and he went over the bike and tightened anything that was loose. He did an awesome j0b and only charged for labor. He has all the right credentials. He saved me over $200.00. He also quit what he was in the middle of and and serviced my bike. Very cool. When I left Tahoe I made the mistake of waiting until noon to leave. It was bumper to bumper traffic all the way over the mts. on highway 50. It was very hot. I forgot that in California that you can drive between cars if they are going below 15 MPH. It took a couple of hours to get to my sons house in Sacramento. When I got to his house we also just hung out and talked. It was nice seeing him. Right now I am at the San Leandro Marina staying at the San Leandro marina Inn. David is going to meet me here. He is bringing his wife and my granddaughter. I have already been to San Francisco this Morning and drove over the Golden Gate bridge. The trip has been great so far. I plan on leaving tomorrow and start to head home. I still have not decided which route I will take. Kristin I miss you and love you very much. Bye for now
