This morning I drove 5 miles up the road to my cousin Judy's house and had a quick visit with her and 2 other first cousins. We shared many memories and lots of laughs.

 Back to the RV, finish getting ready to hook-up and leave. I wish I had taken pictures of Judy with her new BFF, CJ, the maintenance man. We both wanted to adopt him! He is having hip surgery on Monday so we gave him a pizza/sandwich gift card for a couple meals when he gets home from rehab. His wife passed away so he shares his life with "her" (yep, that's her name),  a big friendly poodle.

We had a very uneventful trip to Long Beach, WA today. There were lots of people around to watch the parking process and I told them if they laughed at me, I would charge admission so, of course, they all laughed.

When I was moving Judy's chair this am, evidently I pulled a muscle in my hip, flank area. I could feel it happen...sort of like watching a piece of paper tear....UGH! Guess what! There MUST be more than FAT in that area 'cause it sure hurts. I know if I went to the DR. what he would say and I have what I need to take care of it. It may turn out to be a good thing we will be here the next 2 weeks! (As it turned out, it did hurt for about 10 days so I was glad I didn't have to get in and out of the truck a lot.  That really hurt!
