Fresno...here we come!

We left Menifee and Wilderness Lakes behind Tuesday morning and arrived in Fresno about 4:00 pm.  It was pretty windy and a pretty good dust storm when we left I-15 for Highway 395.  We drove through the dust without trouble but when we turned west on CA-58 we had a pretty good head wind and our miles per gallon dropped to 7.2.  But we've had worse!  In New Mexico we averaged 6.0 in one of their wind storms!  (Must look at the bright side)!

We had dinner plans on Thursday night with Chip (middle nephew), Stephen (youngest nephew) and his girlfriend Marissa.  Stephen came up with a flu bug so we had dinner with Chip.  It was good to see him and how happy he is.  He loves teaching at his former Alma Mater, Central High School.  He is the assistant wrestling coach and really enjoys teaching the kids wrestling!   He's had various offers from other high schools especially since he teaches math.  But he likes who he is working with and the kids so has chosen to stay where he is!  We are so proud of him!

After dinner the three of us visited with Marissa and Rocco.  Stephen was sick in bed.  Rocco is the latest edition to the family and is adorable!  Their new house is coming along slowly but surely.  It looks great!

Sleeping Rocco!

Cute Rocco!

Yesterday we ran some "graduation" errands for the big day!  Claire and Craig graduate from law school today!  We are so excited for them and so very proud!
