Waterford

The newlyweds, Cody and Melissa Rankin, left on their Honeymoon, Alek & Lexie flew back to Washington, and the other wedding guests, including Carole's two sisters left for home. We pulled up stakes and headed South to the Modesto area.

My brother, Ron, and his family had planned a get-to-gather at his daughter's house on Sunday, so we drove to John and Holly's (Ron's daughter and son-in-law) and parked "The Bus" in the farm yard adjacent to their house in Waterford, California. Their house sets among the Almond Orchards, a really nice place for us to park.

















We enjoyed a nice BBQ dinner and lots of conversation with Ron, his kids, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. Holly is shown on the left below in her kitchen preparing a dinner. John is shown on the right below looking out his living room window checking on wildlife in the almond orchard.
















We enjoyed the family, John & Holly's hospitality, and the location so much, we ended up staying a little over a week. It was a very relaxing time and place . . . and, of course, the food was great too.
