July 30th Catching up!

Catching up from the last few days....

On Friday the 27th, Bette and I headed 17 miles or so up the road to Julian Ca., to stop and get Mom a pie, (cherry) since we were visiting her for the weekend.  
Julian is a quaint old town, lots of history there.  Spent an hour or so sitting at the Julian Pie Co., talking with an ex-Marine, who was a nice fellow.  Later on, we went shopping for not much, I got postcards, and 3 pins.  

Saw this for Brian, the king of Dad jokes on Facebook.  Have to go back and get them for him.

On Saturday and Sunday, we headed up to Carlsbad- 68 miles away to visit with Mom.  Lots of good food and talk!  We managed to visit Mission San Luis Rey, and visited Dad's, Fred Williamson's, John Stieger's and Father Michele's gravesites.  Mom wanted to linger a bit, and we did.  

On Saturday, we went to Lunch at Hunters, and split a prime rib. Yummy!

Today, we went down to Alpine to Albertson's for provisions.  Spent 62+$.  Needed everything we got though.

Will rest up until the weekend, then head to Anza-Borrego State Park, where we used to take day trips when we lived at Pendleton.  In the meantime, may run back up to Julian to get Brian's sox.  

Saw this plate on the trip:
