RV trip to Sacramento

 Here I am in St. George transferring everything from one RV to another, we bought a more recent RV to take our trips this summer. We had purchased the smaller one first, then we saw the other one and decided to upgrade even more. We really needed the room with all of our excess baggage we have accumulated since downsizing into a home on wheels. We still have to do some more, but are almost on to the correct amount of necessities for the long haul.

The next trip we took with the RV was to Sacramento to visit family and friends. We took a tour of our former home on Jonas Ave. with the permission of the new owners, they completely gutted the insides and are now working on the outside. The dark green carpets have been replaced in the bedrooms and hallways, new tan and brown tile in the kitchens and bathrooms and hardwood floors in the living and dining areas. What a difference it makes, so much lighter and spacious. Bathrooms were enlarged and updated with walk-in showers and separate bathtubs with double sinks with lots of storage space. An addition to the dining area was a large walk-in pantry, the old bathroom off the kitchen is now a laundry room. Next the stucco will be applied to the whole outside of the house and will be enhanced with modern features in the landscaping.

We really enjoyed the tour and wish we had been able to do the upgrades ourselves, but life gives us many challenges and moving away was one we felt we had to do.



This tree on the right is an orange tree in a RV park near Bakersfield where we spent the night on the way to Sacramento. It is quite old and I thought it was pruned in a typical topiary fashion that normally large trees are not. What do you think of the landscaping possibilities of doing this with fruit bearing trees? I think it is an exceptional labor on this sample and am in favor of it.

On our way to Sacramento we saw a lot of oleander bushes along the highways and I took the following picture of all the blooms, it beats looking at trash along the roadway, right?
