Cabin in Monte Rio, California where we stayed for almost two weeks to visit Joe’s 50th birthday. The dogs loved venturing around the property with the banana slugs, but we also took a lot of side trips with and without the dogs to nearby Guerneville, Jenner, Bodega Bay, etc. Strangely there was even a live bomb found on the main bridge on one of the last days we were in town, but I don’t think they ever found the person who left it.
We also took a hike around Armstrong Woods and went to Jenner Beach and Guerneville on Independence Day.
My sweet friends Steve, Harvey and Norman joined Shando and me in Monte Rio with a very well lit cake.
For the second year in a row we went back for the Nelson Family Reunion, which is Shando’s mom’s side. We also visited his family on his father’s side in nearby Oceola, and his college friends in the Cleveland area. His good friend Diana had a dachshund that reminded us of Tucker and Bella.
We had a small Darby family reunion on Father’s Day.
Shando’s brother Jeff took Shando, their sister Joy and me on a typical cart ride around the brother’s neighborhood, something he does most days with his dog.
