VISITING OUR DAUGHTER CINDY NEAR VACAVILLE, CA

APRIL 21 to MAY 19, 2009 

We spent our nights at  Rest Areas and McDonalds on our way to Cindy's with Fuel stops at Flying J's.

The weather was good and we were happy to be able to hook up right next to Cindy's trailer.

The old bridge had problems....                           One of the ranch riders gave us a hand curving...

The roof needed some repairs....                        And we put together a storage shed....

 

Cindy lives on Victory Rose Thoroughbred Ranch so we enjoyed the horses.  Lots of foals !

We watched a lot of videos and went out to eat several times.  The three weeks we spent there went quickly.  We enjoyed attending church at Dixon United Methodist which is like a second home as we spend some time there every year.  Pastor Cathy Morris is the daughter of former West Seattle  Pastor , Rev  Pruitt who was at Seaview UMC for years.
