May 31 - June 2
Our first stop was to see our friend Cheryl and drop off a trampoline exerciser. Cheryl is a long time friend of Sharon’s and lives in Winston, OR. It was a short but good visit. Then, off to Medford, Shady Cove, and Ruch for three nights visiting family and friends. We spent two nights in Ruch with our friends Tim and Stacey and their children Ivy, Amber, and Daniel. They own a beautiful home in the Siskiyou Mts of southwest Oregon; a place we want to move back to. We also visited with our dear friend Thalia, who lives next to Tim and Stacey. Saturday evening after dinner in Jacksonville we walked up to the Britt Festivals and listened from outside the fence to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Their songs brought back lots of good memories of years gone by. Their voices, although good, did not sound as smooth as years ago.

Monday was a beautiful sunny day, so I took a drive to visit friends Duane and Gail and their family. It was a wonderful warm day, and I enjoyed my visit. Especially fun was watching their granddaughter, Trinity, recite the Pledge Allegiance without missing a single word; she is only 2 ½ years old. It was hysterical! Monday evening we spent with my daughter Gina and her fiancée Josh. I love visiting these guys.

What a great time it was at Sharon’s parents home in Pacific Grove. We got to visit with Walter & Mitzi & their six kids. One sunny afternoon, we walked to Lover’s Point to play on the beach with the kids. After two nights here we left for Indio, CA, and then to Tucson for three nights.

We are in Oro Valley, just north of Tucson, Arizona, and only 70 miles from the Mexican border. Our original plan of two days in Tucson, has turned into three days in an attempt to get our pickup serviced. We had a slow leak in our rear tire that needed fixing. Also, the air conditioner stopped working right after hitting the hot weather in southern California. After spending 4 hours in the repair shop here in Oro Valley, we are still without an AC; they can’t get the part until next Friday. Bummer! We’ll be way into Mexico by then. Maybe we can get it repaired in Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta. Meanwhile, we will have to drive into the Mexican desert heat with our water spray bottles and a small fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter as our only means to keep cool.

Temperature here in Oro Valley is 96-100 deg (F). Unleaded gas is $3.69/gallon.
So far we have driven about 1,875 mi. (3,125 km), and gained 35+ degrees (F) in temperature.
