Update to travel plans

Update following Anne's health issues.

As most of you already know, we had to cancel the German trip due to Anne's ongoing health problems.

Today, she took the final medical follow up test and was pronounced normal.

I strongly question the background, medical or otherwise of anyone who calls Anne normal.

Just joking...

Now the travel plans are back on track.

Idyllwild, California for 4th of July weekend.


It was decided (by me) that as this is THE barbecue weekend of the year, we needed something we could use on the deck of the cabin.
Answer, an electric George Foreman barbecue.
And, it goes well with the Angels combination spatula / bottle opener that Missy bought me for Fathers Day.

Perfect!

I then thought that we needed a new ice box for the trip. Well, we will be gone three nights, and we need food for ourselves and Missy, of course we may take a beer or three.

Yes, I know they have markets in Idyllwild and yes they will be open on the 4th for part of the day.
But who knows, maybe they will sell out of essential supplies.

So I bought this from Costco.

It is slightly smaller than a European car, but only just.
Now I need to run out and buy a tailgate lift to put it on the truck!!!!

 Part of the purpose of this trip is to get Missy out of town during the 4th of July fireworks bonanza.

This is the view from the deck of the cabin.

As you can imagine, they don't take too kindly to fireworks or open fire barbecues in this neck of the woods. (Pun intended)


More soon from the mountains.

Ciao Bella,
