Just a short note to let everyone know that we will have no cell service while we are near Davis, CA and we will be there for a week. We will leave here on Wednesday for Canyonville and hopefully get to visit with our son Garrick who is attending UC Davis. So you can leave messages or call and I will pick up messages with a phone card.
Bye for now, L

Redding, CA

We spent a week with Betty and Chuck Goehring. We attended their surprise 50th wedding anniversary party near there home. They live at Lake Shastina, it is so pretty there with lots trees all over the place. Gordon and Chuck got to go fishing and both caught some Large Mouth Bass. I was so excited to hear that the Int'l Film Festival was at Lake Shasta City so Betty and I went to see, "Hot Ballroom" (which I highly recommend-soon coming on DVD) and The Beauty Academy of Kabu. This was a very well done documentary also. Gordon and Chuck saw the Mountain Postman a documentary made in China. They said it was very good also. On Sunday we got to see a free movie which was "The Five People You Met In Heaven" and that was REALLY good.
Right now we are in Redding for a few days then onto Lake Minden, in Nickolas, (CA). This is not to far from Sacramento and Davis where our son and grandsons are. We hope to spend time with them both.
I am so happy to be out of extended cell phone area so I can be back on the computer in the evening. I can not use my cell phone to connect with the internet unless I am in Verizon area.
Bye, L
