The last few days have been a little hetic. I picked up Missy at LAX late Sunday night ...why is it that the 405 can be backed up all 7 lanes at 10 at night? It must just be an LA thing. We got up early Monday and went and took a 101 RV class to become more familiar with Beverly and her many features LOL. We headed out after that and arrived in Pleasanton in the evening. Melissa ran off to have dinner with her father and I tried to get some things organized in the RV. Melissa had a doctor appointment and a hair appointment Tuesday morning in Pleasanton so I went along and spent the morning walking downtown with Tye.

I remember now why I always loved growing up in Pleasanton. It is such a pretty little town. I looked over when passing Deans Dinner and could picture Papa sitting there in for window booth with the Mayor and what they used to call the town councel having their morning meeting over breakfast just like they did every morning for many many years.

I had to go into the Tack Room to pick up another lead since I forgot Tyes in the RV. As soon as I walked in I could smell the tack leather mixed with the saddle soap. Wow did memories come flooding back at that time. Still the same lady working behind the counter and everything in the same places that they were located when I used to go in as a child.

When Missy was done with her hair (she is blond again) we packed up and headed to Vacaville to see my mom. So that brings us to this morning ... We are going to spend the day with Mom at the Nursing home then will start the real trip which begins in Lake Tahoe. I will post pictures once we set up camp there.
