April 17, 2016 Sacramento, California

       Sunday April 17, 2016  We drove 359 miles to the "Thunder Valley Casino Where we pulled in to spend the night in the large parking lot across the street where the semi trucks park. We put our slides out and put the TV antenna up to record our show. Then we called the casino to have them send someone to come pick us up after about 20 min we decided to walk about a1/2 mile to the casino where we ate dinner at the deli there. We played the slots for about an hour before calling it a day. They gave us a ride back to our motorhome where we watched  a couple of shows we had recorded before heading to bed. Kent is still miserable with his sinus infection. Tomorrow we are driving to Corning, California where we will stay at the Rolling Hills Casino. It is free to stay at the Casino's and if it is late when we stop for the day, we eat in the casino.
       Monday  April 18, 2016  We got a late start this morning, I did a little house cleaning and stopped at Costco where we filled up our propane and diesel and ate lunch. I am reading a very good book that my friend Cyndi gave me in Yuma,  I am reading it to Kent as  he was interested in it too. It  has over 400 pages and very small print, so it is slow reading, but very interesting. It is called "Unbroken". by Laura Hillenbrand. It is a true story about the men in World War II and the prison camps they were in. Kent enjoys me reading to him and it makes the driving less boring.
     Tuesday   April 19, 2016   Kent wanted to eat breakfast in the casino this morning before we left, it was buy one buffet,  get one free. We were sitting there eating when I noticed this lady sitting in a booth across and up from our table.  I thought she looked so familiar , and I kept watching her as she went back for a refill. She looked like a friend of my friend in Palm Springs where we spent some time at the club there. When she returned,  I was sure she might be Donna , my friend Bonnies friend. She looked up and saw me staring at her and she said do I know you? I said aren't you Donna and she smiled so big and said Sharon????. She knew I looked familiar but she didn't think she knew anyone in Corning, California and I knew that had to be Donna but what was she doing here. She joined Kent and I and we really had fun laughing at us meeting again on our way home to Oregon and her to Washington.  It sure is a small world.  I called Bonnie and  told her I had met a friend at the restaurant in Corning and I wanted her to say hello to her. She about flipped when she heard Donna on the phone.We drove 270 miles to Canyonville, Oregon and we went by Lake Shasta and it sure is becoming full like the old days. It is so pretty when its full and so unsightly when its real low with water being 60 feet from the edge of the trees.  We will be home n a couple of days. Blaize is so anxious for us to get home.
