The country
The city
Here we are back in the country again on the same day. (It was dark when we arrived so Mr. Hairball actually took this picture later in the week.)
This is Great-Auntie Hairball's house. See the silver gate and the white car behind it? On the night we arrived, they had left that gate open so we could park inside the yard. By the time we arrived, there were several cows in the yard. The cows were very curious about our car and luggage!
The road down the hill from her house. She lives about ten miles away from a small town so it is very dark there at night. Mr. Hairball borrowed a telescope from work and brought it with us on our trip. Unfortunately, there was a full moon while we where there so he was not able to see everything that he had hoped to view.
We also took a brief side trip to see my brother and SIL for a day, but we accidentally left the camera behind at my great-aunt's house. My brother and SIL live in a house built in the 1930's that they have restored. Almost everything inside (except for things like appliances, computers, and TVs) is from the 1930's-1950's or is a very good reproduction from those years. It's fun to walk through their house and see all of their collections from the past!
My brother would really love to buy a 1950's house in his area that has been lovingly maintained. My SIL owned their current house for many years before she met him, and also raised her sons there. She is understandably torn about moving. I am curious to see what they will decide to do about the house issue.
After about a week of visiting with Great-Auntie Hairball, Mama Hairball, and Brother & SIL Hairball, we loaded up and left for our next destination. We happened to drive by a casino on the way and since neither of us had either been in one before, we decided to stop and lose some money before we ate lunch.
My seed money
I lost my two dollars and left. I thought it was depressing in there and Mr. Hairball found it quite boring.

Smart lady.
Know when to fold 'em.
Can't wait to hear more, this is great! And I love the photos.
ooh, so glad to see you are back! I'm not sure about my blog yet. I may write again a couple of times before term starts here, but I am not sure what my schedule will be like so I can't make any promises.
Hey that was a neat magic trick with the disappearing money. lol
Also, that's funny about the cows being curious about your car and luggage. Maybe they, too, would like to take a road trip. They've probably heard that California cows are the happiest.
Rosie,
Now I have that Kenny Roger's song in my head!
Thanks Lidian!
Take your time and do what is best for you, Public Artist!
Marissa,
*snorts* I'm imaging cattle in swimwear parading up the beach!
