7 more sleeps...


Blobby is pretty laid back about the prospect of us going away for 3 months. Don't think he gives a toss actually!

I've just bought 6 boxes of cat food for him...hope it's enough!

This time next week, we'll be in Sacramento as guests of our friends Dave and Nancy Smith...owners of the Nostalgia Nitro dragster "Nitro Fever" as well as Sacramento Raceway Park. http://sacramentoraceway.com

We met these two on our 2004 trip, when Colin helped them out with their race car in Boise, Idaho. They invited us back again last year to stay with them and to restore Dave's '40 Ford Coupe. When we received their Christmas card last year...it included another invitation to be their guests for 3 months this year. What can you do???

Most of our house is cleaned out...just a few more personal items to put away in the shed. The 'to do' list is getting shorter and the rubbish fire burns quietly on. We vow to keep our life more simple from now on...at least as far as "stuff" is concerned. Some of the boxes we are storing away haven't been unpacked since the last trip!


Our agent Carol phoned this morning and has found a tenant for us. They are moving their furniture here tomorrow to store in the garage. It's starting to feel 'real' now!

Thought a blog site would be a good idea for keeping everyone up to date on what we're doing. A lot easier than writing letters as in previous trips!

Excellent Blog Barb! It really is one of the better blogs I've ever read. Informative and interesting. My favorite parts are the photo of Tommy Ivo...I loved Leave It To Beaver. And your visit to a Ripley's Museum. There is a Ripley's just over a mile from me here in St. Augustine Florida. My name is Paul and I'm a friend of your wonderful sister Coral.
