Yesterday we said goodbye to Jo Ann in Visalia, and traveled to Pismo Beach, a distance of 154 miles. Doesn’t seem very far, but when dragging the trailer, we only travel at 55 mph max, so it takes a while.
Jo Ann’s barn is about half painted with primer and top coat, and about half her new fence is stained. We also had a great visit. I’m sorry we couldn’t finish it with her, but our bodies have their limits, and the limits were showing.
Paula’s sister, Barbara, was happy to greet us in Pismo Beach. We got the truck and trailer parked out in front of her home, and got it hooked up to her electric. Then it was out to have lunch — Mexican, of course — and do errands.
Temperatures in Pismo Beach are in the 60’s during the day and 40’s at night. A lovely change from the high temperatures in Visalia. We’re so climatized to Washington, that Paula found she got a touch of heat stroke on one morning when she was working hard on the trailer. Glad it wasn’t any more serious.
The rest of the family arrives for Memorial Day weekend late tonight. Tomorrow we’ll see Sally, Paula’s other sister, Chris and Andrea along with their children Austin and Grace. Barbara will have quite the full house. We’ll all go out tomorrow to celebrate Barbara’s birthday. Paula & I are hoping we can get a trike/bike ride in with Sally before the dinner departure time. We’ve been told to arrive extra early because the restaurant does not take reservations, and we’ll be a party of 12! Wish us luck!
