Spending Thanksgiving with all the family.  Norm and Dixie et al rented a large house overlooking the lake, so we converged at Incline Village to spend time with Angela, Lee, & Jeffrey and Jason & Erin too.

ON THE ROAD TO MAZATLAN

Roadside stop for refreshments.

We are driving south on Hwy 395 on our way to Mazatlan!

Roadwork in Mexico.  There really are two highway lanes with on-going improvements.

We arrive at our halfway stop in Mexico in Navojoa.

Children come to the window to ask to clean the windshield.

We have arrived at our Beach House !!   It is wonderful, love our space, and the ocean and the garden on our grounds are well cared for. 

This sign indicates we are entering Mazatlan.

We pass by David and Mildred's house: Torre Playa Dorada

Arrive at the Front Gate of our 'home away from home'

Toll booth.

Woodstock the kitty cat is exhausted from his travel.  He did fine and is a good sport!

We have returned to Galway, NY, to the Family Farm: Fall 2017.  Kyle has agreed to let us store the truck in his barn and we have contracted to store the RV in the Hudson Valley RV Storage.    November 2017...We have completed our 2017 Travel Tour and returned to the Family Farm to visit Hume, Christine, Debbie, Tina, Seymour, Bonnie, and the rest of the family members in the Galway, NY, area.  

 Winter season is coming on and we will go to CA on our way to our Beachhouse retreat in Mazatlan for the Winter.

Kyle dropped us off early in the morning at the Albany Airport and we anticipate being with our children. It is now November and we are flying back to California, excited to celebrate our daughter, Angela's 50th birthday.  It has been since June that we have seen our children (Jason and Erin's June wedding and grandson, Jeffrey's, High School graduation).

FAMILY
We visited Tina and Brian in Pittsford, VT.  Taking pizza from Rutland’s Ramunto’s Sicilian Pizza.  Tina prepared salad and Brian's folks visited with us too.

Preparations being made
CasaRoll is going into storage starting November 2017.  Tim has wrapped insulation to the hot water pipes and added protectant to the plastic parts on the roof.  He is emptying the waterline and adding anti-freeze.  Tim is cleaning the truck inside as it serves us daily as our enclosed patio on the world! 


Tim scanned many of our important documents and placed them in our virtual vault!  We completed an on-line transaction to begin the final phase of the sale of Costa Valeros.  I have sorted and cleaned the bathroom cabinet, vanity, and bedroom drawers, and winter/summer clothes.  I have a bag for the Good Will and some canned food too.  The frozen goods will be contributed to Hume and Christine's down-cellar freezer.  Dave Wood and wife, Connie Arnold (grandfather: Mother: Bunyan).  
Reading family tree documents.

Christine's father built the addition to the Scotts Church.  He was a building Contractor as this sign indicates.
