Big Bear Lake

Hello Fans!    And Hello to those who are just oddly curious!

We’ve been in Hesperia, CA since Monday and have found both work and play activities this week.  For Cathy, some of the “play” has also been work.  Take the truck ride in the Peterbilt from Pomona to Pixley and back to deliver grain.  It was an adventure for Cathy but all work for cousin Bryan who had to do the driving.  

Because L.A. traffic can be soooo much fun, we left at 1am and got home about 3pm, avoiding traffic jams (and scales…shhhh!)

While Cathy was away, Cathi got to know cousin Michelle’s bull dogs.  She helped exercise them and clean their pens with cousin Roanne.  We’re decided that bull dogs are really pigs in dog clothing.  They snort, snore, roll in the dirt…

Friday was a play day for both Cathies!  We drove up to Big Bear Lake and walked along a partially snow-covered path.  There were kids sledding and adults heading to the ski hill.  And the sun was shining and the car thermometer said 52 degrees.  Awesome!

Of course, we HAD to visit the nature center to look through the gift shop.  Since Cathy is affectionately called Smoky the Bear by her friends (as she drags the hose out to the fire pit in the summer at the end of a night), she picked up a Smoky shirt and badge.  Now, Cathy will really be decked out for fire tending.  

This morning we setup the Christmas tree with Uncle John.  With Cathi doing an expert job of fluffy the wired boughs, Cathy went off to find free wifi (at the library) and get her broken eyeglass arm soldered back on.

We’re aiming to get down to Santa Monica for a couple days.  It’s been recommended that we visit Venice Beach and Temescal Canyon.
