It turns out that Casper is one long day from So Cal, just like Portland. I left Casper about 7am on Fri 2/26 with tentative plans to drive to Las Vegas. I got into Las Vegas about sunset and drove around town for an hour and decided to just push on through to Joshua Tree rather than spend the night. I got into Joshua Tree about 11:30pm.
Spent Saturday with my sister Jill, resting up from the long day driving. After discovering that she hand no coffee on hand (or a coffee maker) I decided to push on to Jan’s house in Oceanside on Sunday Morning after church. I stopped by Dawn Renee’s house in Murietta to pick up Nana (well actually Nana’s box) to take her to Jan’s.
Spent the time at Jan’s helping rehearse for the funeral on 3/4. Also got the mandatory visit to Chili’s on one night and some BBQ on another. I think we have a good plan for using iPhones for a Zoom meeting for the funeral mass and internment. We will also be recording it with an iPad as a backup. Hopefully the rain will end today and clear up tomorrow (contrary to the popular belief that “It Never Rains in Southern California“)
