A cool ride

We are back at Park Sierra after 5 days in Sacramento. We got a lot accomplished and the biggest was our air conditioning in the Suzuki. Thanks a million to my Daughter Jackie ,her husband Dustin,and their friend Tony.They got the parts, put us up and fixed the AC for us.It was a cool ride back home yesterday. No 4-60 AC (4windows down 60mph) anymore.That's Jackie with Jeni and I in the picture. She is smart,pretty,and a great mother.
While in Sac. we also got to spend time with our grand kids,Alyx and D.J.We played cards,read books(D.J's favorite) and the girls went shopping(Alyx's favorite).
I'm calling our friend Diane Shelstead! I want to let her know that I Hate that card game "hand and foot". She taught us that game at "Agua Caliente
park ,when we all were volunteering out there last winter.I can't win! This weekend my wife,daughter,and granddaughter beat me every time.I consider myself a fair card player,but this game has my number! The last time I didn't finish last was with Stan(Diane's husband) when we played partners back in the spring!
I'm calling a "Shrink"!
My grandson D.J. loves "Monster trucks". He has about 27 toy replicas of them.he knows all their names and even the drivers names.He and I played with them but D.J.got irritated with me because I didn't know the different truck names. Hey,how can you remember names like "Monster mutt,the avenger,cowboy,grave digger,and brutus".
Well Saturday I had to pay our hotel bill at "Casa Jackie". Jackie and I washed and waxed her "Chevy Tahoe". It got the "showroom shine". Thanks to "ole"turtle wax!
I visited "campworld" in Rocklin Ca. for some supplies while in Sac. I am going to change out our "septic hoses" when we get back to the rig.
For just a few items,I spent a $100! How am I going to get this by Jeni.I can't get out of that place without spending a "bundle"!
Saturday night,after we finished the "Tahoe",and getting whipped at cards by the "gals"again,I decided to do something I enjoy,reading my grandson a book. We settled on the couch and began ,but as you see in the picture I failed. Actually,
I'm not sleeping,I am resting my eyes before the next sentence.Riiight!
Back at the park today,I met my buddies at the pole barn for work detail and Jeni had Physical Therapy for her knee.
I am really enjoying volunteering here at the park. The guys here are great.No word yet on the "workamping gig"yet,but we love it here anyway.We are #40 on the list for membership now which is still probably a year off but we will hang around and see what happens.
