Oh Boy Oh Boy I got to visit with Aunt Mae and Uncle Hank in Vista. Every day they sit outside and all the dogs in the neighborhood stop by to get a treat. Of course I was the star. They also took me to the dog park. Mitch and Joanne were preoccupied with some maintenance issues with the van. They needed to replace the macerator, get a front-end alignment and buy four new tires for the Roadtrek. It’s good to go now. We also visited with Lori and Roger Johnson in San Clemente. Roger taught with Mitch at Ramapo and I could tell they were very happy to see each other. Roger and Lori took us on a tour of the area and they had lunch at Dana Point while I went looking for Richard Nixon in San Clemente- no luck just a sculpture of him in Casa Romantica. The weather was a bit hot for me- high 80”s- but Jojo and Mitch seemed to like it.

Max and I started to roughhouse. All the dogs in the neighborhood came to visit Uncle Hank and Aunt Mae and to meet me.

 

Mitch and Joanne met Roger and Laurie Johnson for dinner.
