We Made it to the Kid's



The Ukiah Pumpkin Weigh In

We arrived in Ukiah, CA, on Thursday just in time to go to Julia's school and surprise her. She was very surprised. It rained the first two days of our trip but the sun started shining on Thursday morning and it was a beautiful drive after that. We are all settled in our daughter's driveway/yard and enjoying our time with her family. Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin weigh off and saw a pumpkin that was 1028 pounds! Amazing, is all I can say. Julia had a great time on the big slide and we even saw Superman! He's gained some weight and his hair is not dark anymore, but he was very friendly. After we came back home, Julia, Beth and I made Kale chips, cleaned home grown strawberries and tomatoes. Then we shelled black beans. It was a fun productive afternoon. Beth even made bread and butter pickles while we were doing other stuff. She's a regular dynamo. We aren't sure how long we'll be here, and then we'll be heading for the winter to Hemet, CA. Should be a fun year as we have several friends coming to Hemet this winter. Hope you are all having a great fall.
