A week at Marella Way

A beautiful, warm day in Bakersfield and Fresno--88 degrees so we got to try out the new ceiling fan we bought at a garage sale and had installed in our family room. It does a good job of keeping us fairly cool and the inside of the house only climbed to 78.
Meantime, I drove an older friend and her husband's cremains to the Clovis Cemetery by Fresno. He died Jan. 8 so we missed his memorial service and will miss the burial service for it is on March 24. Anita has her roots in our Fresno Grace church and came to Bakersfield while we were here. Her husband worked with Boy Scouts so she said she moved as many or more times than ministers--10 times.
Harry stayed home and checked our RV tire pressure, picked 42 grapefruit to pawn off on our doctors and other patients tomorrow plus to Kevin and the Dutt gang when we reach Eureka to meet them next week (Harry's four sisters, two husbands, and one brother). Harry has also taken on the project of getting our pictures on the walls and that has taken his carpentry skills and finding new frames. We now have the Lloyd Backus painting of the Fulton house, barn and yard hanging in our entry.
We had neighbors over to see the RV this evening for they had stopped and seen Harry in the garage a day or two ago and expressed interest in also traveling. We do have very congenial neighbors in the five houses next to us that we have met plus know a few more around the corner.
We leave tomorrow for Fresno and dr. appt's for both of us so will stay in our usual RV park overnight and then head to Kevin and Sara's by Friday. We trust we will get to see both of the boys play soft or baseball and get to see their karate lessons. We plan to be home by March 28. by Anita
