Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday to Peggy! The love of my life turns early social security today ... yippee!

She started her birthday celebration last week when she got her new Nexus 7 and continued it last night when we had an early birthday celebration with Marcie, Don, and Nan. Peggy decided on Pizza for dinner so we topped off a Papa Murphy's pizza with some cupcakes and Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks Ice Cream. Yum-Yum.

We said our goodbyes in Minden this morning and set sail for points West. We have been with Marcie and Nan for over 6 weeks so it was certainly a sad goodbye ... but they need to move on to figure out their "new normal" and it was time for us to move on as well.

We left Minden around 10:00 or so driving north to Reno and I-80 ... and then turned West to make the trip up and over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Up to 7,000 feet and then down to just about sea level here in Sacramento. We settled in here at the Cal Expo RV Park and then we continued Peggy's birthday celebration with a trip to Red Lobster for dinner. It certainly wasn't as good as Captain Mike's in Brunswick, ME ... but it was pretty good nonetheless!

We plan on staying here in Sacto for at least 4 nights and we are hoping to visit, at least for a few hours, with 3 of Peggy's 4 sisters and families. We'll have to head further south here in the Golden State to visit with Carol ... the fourth sister. We also hope to be able to visit some more with Carin and Zach - Marcie's daughter and grandson who also live nearby.

So far we have arranged a dinner tomorrow night with sister Vickie ... so it looks like Peggy's birthday celebration will continue for at least one more night.

Yes indeed ... these Maineiacs are definitely back in Motion.
