Laveta's five gallon certificate!

Laveta and I left University Place on February 3rd for our (now annual) break from the
rainy Northwest- this time to Pismo Beach CA, with shorter stays in Redding and Chowchilla
(Merced). We had a fun time. Driving south on I-5, we changed to Hwy-99 in Manteca, then
made our way down to Chowchilla. After a two week stay we headed for he coast, first by
driving south to Fresno, then west on CA-41 & 46 to Hwy-101 through Paso Robles and
San Luis Obispo. We returned home (by the same route) on March 24th.

It was just a short walk from our RV. Note the Monarch's mating on the ground!

The Pismo State Beach was also just a short (and wonderful) walk from our RV

John and Becky's Whidbey Island home, front and back,
with views from their front lawn and back porch!
We watched over their place while they went on vacation-
a great place to house sit; like a B&B without the last B.

Jim, Carol and Laveta, house-setting real hard.
