Well, this will be quick, cause I am one tired little poodlewa.
Seems I picked up a "bug" yesterday and I had Carol and Barney up last night with more than usual visits to the grassy knoll!! Could of been that bite of a Carl Jr burger or maybe some kind of foreign germ hidden on the lawn of one of the "pet areas"-who knows, but it wasn't pretty!!
Carol made me drink some kind of pink stuff that left me feeling better but left my lips looking real "dolled up". I slept through the night. We left Tulare, CA in the same traffic that we arrived in, only to pass endless orchards through Bakersfield, CA. The traffic thinned out as we headed east and the flowers turned into the mountains of the Mohave Desert, that sunshine sure felt good on my face!!
We stopped at a rest area just about an hour before Needles,, CA, where we are tonight and I ate my first meal-and it tasted so good-I think I will be allright-I even asked for a biscuit and wished I had asked for another-it would of made that last hour go by faster!!
Well, I hear we have a 350 mile drive to Benson, AZ tomorrow so I better make my bed and lie in it!! We are supposed to visit a Native American artifact museum, and Barney is really looking forward to it!!
Well, here's to the Pink Stuff!! It made my day!!

Did I mention how much I hate riding in the car???
Oh, for that condo in Hood River!!! my frequent walks through the Hotel-no matter how cloudy or snowy!!
We left Corning just in time to get through Sacramento before the rush hour. Along the highway Barney is amazed at all the olive trees and the traffic is still fast and furious!!
I keep hearing from Carol-"we're going home"-and those are just words-WHERE IS HOME??!!
So I will just keep eating, sleeping and pooping-that seems to make them both happy!! I mean-I get a round of applause for a successful visit to the grassy knoll!!
Just today-we had been pushing hard at about 75 miles an hour out of Fresno-Carol's knuckles are white from gripping the door handle-and I feel the urge. So I did what I do when I'm not in the car-I start shaking and when that doesn't get the response I want-I get real close to the window and look our REAL hard. That did it!! Carol says "get off HERE-he has to go!! and we do and it is in an almond grove-the most beautiful white blossoms all over the trees and the ground!! YES-she and I are really communicating now!! THAT felt so good!! I curled up on Carol's lap and slept in the sun until..............................
We get back on 99 and off we go, another 50 miles and Carol says "get off now"-thinking she has to go now- but NO this is where we will sleep tonight!!! Yea!! green grass and wait a minute!! What kind of trees are these?? So high and fluffy!!?? Did I mention the warm weather and blue skies?? Hmmmm, is THIS home????????
The word is that we are headed for Needles, AZ tomorrow-I think there is more sunshine there-more than we have seen in Months!!
I better find my sunscreen-wouldn't want to get pink!!
