Tomorrow we begin our road trip. So in preparation for that today we completed the move out from our rental home in Shell Beach. As was pointed out to me, we are now homeless and have to live out of our car. At least until we check into our hotel that is. Having owned our own home for a long time, having switched to a rental in Shell Beach was a strange experience, having to schedule cleaners, carpet cleaners and the Got Junk folks; all to show up on a single day. It made today a bit of a circus. But we got it done. We called the property management company to come do an inspection so we could be on our way. So she shows up at 2 pm to do her walk through and has to step over the carpet cleaners and cleaning crew to check out the house and she begins to fill out her check sheet saying that we need to be sure that clean the carpets and the blinds! Oh and do you have a forwarding address? So hours later everything done, we eat and go to turn in the keys and the first thing they ask ” do you have receipts for the cleaning and carpet cleaning? If not we will have to charge you for it” “and do you have a forwarding address?” So now we get to have dinner with our daughter and her friend and then head off to Atascadero to visit with our other daughters and play with the grandkids. We had a blast for the short time they were there and took some photos to hold us over until we get more photos.
Boy Papou looks just slightly demented and the grandkids aren’t too sure of his sanity either.. Tomorrow the trip begins and the first stop is Pastrami!! http://refugesc.com/

What a sweet pic to take with you on your journey! Be safe traveling. Now after all the demands of packing, storing, cleaning and leaving, you can be unwinding and relaxing!
