Megan and Jacob's wedding


My cousin's wedding in Cancun was amazing! It was so great to have 18 members of our family there, not to mention the friends of the family that made the trip! We were there for 10 glorious days........thanks Dad:) The Cancun Moon Palace all-inclusive resort is definitely THE place to stay......gorgeous property, great food, fun tours, lovely spa, spectacular beach, super-fun swing bar and oooooooh, the unlimited cocktails:) Check out the web-site www.cancungetaways.com for really great deals.

Castle Crags

Bubba had never hiked Castle Crags so we headed up the 2 3/4 mile trail to the top.
Did I forget to mention it has a 2,200 ft gain in elevation? oops:)

He only complained a little;) and it was a beautiful day, the view is amazing. We left feeling very accomplished.....and very tired!

Apple Hill


Before we packed up the fifth-wheel to head home, we met the family at Apple Hill for our annual indulgence in all things apple. Apple donuts, apple cider, apple pie, apple wine, apple beer.......... you get the picure:) It was delicious, as usual, and it was great to see everyone. Next month, Cancun Mexico for Megan and Jacob's wedding!!!!!!

Last night at Sutter Auburn Faith


After an eight week assignment which happily turned into sixteen weeks (where did all that time go?), I worked my last night shift at Auburn Faith. We had a fun italian potluck dinner and everyone came through to say goodbye, although I think Wes just came for the food:) Paulina even called fron Arizona!!! I will treasure my card filled with beautiful sentiments and the beautiful felt bowl that Lynn crafted just for me. If everything works out, I will return in the spring to work with my new friends again. There is still so much I would like to do there and it will be great to see everyone once more.

Rollins Lake


I've been kicked out of the trailer park!.......he he, never thought I would say that;) Actually, the Auburn Gold Country RV Park where I was staying (conveniently right across the street from the hospital), lost it's lease on the land and had to close suddenly. I have moved 17 miles away to Rollins Lake in Colfax, CA. A little further to drive, but it is beautiful out here! Unfortunately, after returning from a trip home, I found that someone had unplugged my power cable and I lost all the food in my refirigerator!!!!!!! After a stroll through the campground with my sweetie, it was soon forgotten. We are going to spend some time exploring the area this week.

Paulina's Last Night

Paulina has completed her 13 week assignment here and is returning to Nogales, AZ. I am going to miss her terribly, it definitely won't be the same without my fellow traveler. I hope to work with her again soon!

I bought a fifth-wheel trailer to live in while I am traveling. I finally got to move into it after a series of catastrophies, such as the delivery guy dropping all 15,000 lbs of it on his truck! To celebrate my move-in, the staff threw me a "trailer trash" party where we feasted on "pigs in a blanket", pork and beans, twinkies, ho-ho's, kool-aid, pork rinds, cheese whiz and other fine cuisine. Paulina helped me dress the part with a hat, glasses and a shot glass necklace!
