sitting on the left coast

No, I have not disappeared, although I sure enjoyed all the pictures of the children on the boat this week! We have made it over to the left coast of the continent, after a long, pretty uneventful trip across the southern states on #10!
I took this picture in Texas, and was absolutely amazed at how many birds were sitting on the wires! They made a lot of noise as well!

There is 880 miles from one end of Texas to the other on the 10. 880 long miles, but good roads! I thought of our guests as I was going by some of their hometowns like San Antonio and Fair Oaks Ranch, but the only stop we made was overnight at the Flying J in San Antonio. We knew we were better off to get the drive done.

The roads actually were the worse when we got into California. We could see the smog from LA about a hundred and fifty miles east of the city! We have made it to my sisters though, near San Francisco! Both Bazza and I were quite allergic to cats, so they put them outside and locked the cat door so they could not get in. These poor cats were not impressed at all that there door was locked and tried for hours to get it open!! I felt sorry for them!

And this is my much younger and cuter sister, Sydney with her boyfriend Chris and us. We just had barbecue at the house tonight.

The guests had sent Lisa a few more pictures from the week and I thought I would put a couple of them up. To me it looks like Brent had MORE fun then the kids this week!

Does not seem to matter whether we have middle aged women or kids! The poor cabana boy seems to take a beating!!

Not often we get a picture of the person who does the blogging, so here is Richard and lisa! Looks to me like Rich has gained a couple of pounds in the cheeks. Lisa must have relented and let him eat! Richy always gets to eat more when Kerry is on the boat!

The next time you hear from me we should be in Australia!
