We arrived here in the Bay Area on Thursday afternoon! Weather has been really nice...CA Sun...! We so enjoyed our trip to see the family & friends and then down to Modesto CA to see more family & friends! Even meant up with Jerry & Wilma Mishler whom we will be reconnecting with in Cambodia...gosh Wilma says: "I can't believe you both are joining us in Cambodia!!!" Yes we still can't believe it either! Amazing!

So good to see Jim & Mom again..it had been Feb when we last saw them...for their Birthday's. Today we picked up Mom at the carehome and brought her to the salon for a haircut. That went really well...both Jim & I were pleased with transfering Mom from carehome to car and then into the building. The ladies were so happy to see her!

We washed the car yesterday, scrubbed & clean after driving over 1000+ miles in the last 2 weeks.  Took pictures and entered the car onto the local Craigslist here in the east Bay Area.  Would you believe it ~ already a call and the person wants to come and look at it tomorrow Sunday.  Hey - we still have some things to do around here...yikes...! Anyway...we'll see how it goes. If we get our asking price we might rent a small car to run around it if need be!

So dear friends & family...we can Skype, email and stay in touch with the blog.  Do hope to hear from you too!  We still do not have our ticket's because we need to sell the car and of course do a little sorting out of things: go to the Indonesian embassy, check on one-way tickets to Singapore..etc. Our goal would be around the 18th possibly to fly out of SF. Once the car sells...well that will give us an idea!

Keeping you posted...hugs to all! We 'kids' are getting excited...but still think we are heading back to Bend after our visit here...but NO HOUSE TO GO BACK TO...dah!

Love to all~
