Thursday September 27 in California

We had breakfast in our room at the STONEGATE VILLA in South Leggett,
using groceries I purchased yesterday in Fort Bragg.  We decided to go to the Drive Thru Tree attraction but wanted to explore  Leggett before going.  So we went to the Leggett Valley Mercantile
MaryAnn  purchased a t shirt and shopped while I took pictures of some abandoned places in S. Leggett.


We  headed out to Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree Park in Leggett, and we each paid ten dollars to get in.  I  I walked through so I could take pictures of MA driving through.  I left a rock beneath a sign.

Then we  headed to the AVENUE OF THE GIANTS.  It is so beautiful.  We stopped and had a picnic lunch of crackers and cheese, grapes, etc.  Spent some time walking around amid the huge trees and taking pictures.


Stopped to look for geocache in Redcrest but we had NO LUCK, but Mary Anne enjoyed a gift shop
and I took pictures of some abandoned spots like this phone booth which I THOUGHT held the geocache.



Then weheaded north towards Klamath, stopping in Eureka to get gas.

We arrived at the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitors Center
at the  southern end of the Redwoods National and State Parks  and watched a short film, and MA bought souvenirs and we used the rest room, and then drove north through the park towards  our lodging in Klamath.   We stopped here and walked the trail for a bit and explored this
beautiful grove of huge trees. 



It was definitely the highlight of the day!!!!!!

We made it to Klameth and checked in to the RAVENWOOD MOTEL (a mom and pop type motel)
and then went for supper in the ABELONE GRILL in  the  casino next door.  It was a really good  meal...............I had the pulled pork sandwich.

I asked around for info about supermarkets and found out they do not have any here, but there is a mini mart next to the gas station that is also next door (but on the other side)of our motel.

We went back to room around eight p.m.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Image
 I got to the church around ten forty a.m.   I asked Lou to let me in to the office area and he did.  I picked up the boxes of cards, list of names and the printed Christmas carols and then I went down to the basement and looked for the "sugars" for the tea.  I found a few.  Then I located the case of bottles of water, but it was heavy, so I located Lou again and he carried it to the kitchen.   Once I got back to the kitchen, I looked for more "sugars" but couldn't find any, so I went to the COFFEE BAR, and they filled a bowl with different types for me.  I got the silverware ready.  I opened up the packaging that held the tablecloths captive (I have had difficulty opening them in the past) so that they would be ready to go.  David and Jan both came at the end of the service.  Jan located the floral displays for the tables, and we started to put the red tablecloths on the tables.  By this time, we had a lot of other helper...

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...
