Stanford house

















Hi there everyone,

Well, we had another busy weekend. And though we never seem to get to spend as much time together as we would like, the time we did spend together was so precious to both of us. We are just so in love! :-) This weekend did get to go to the Leland Stanford mansion in Downtown Sacramento. It was a wonderful hour long tour that was very enjoyable and informative. Even though it rained this weekend, I got the Accord a bath. There was a fund raiser for a family that has a un-born baby who has reversed heart valves.The condition is only caught 15% of the time prior to birth, but their survival rate increases by 80% when the condition is caught before birth. The community support was very wonderful to see!

We've had a chance to get to know some of our neighbors now that we have moved to a new sight within the park. Their are some really wonderful folks that we have gotten to know. We continue to be very happy with our choice of our new home.

There is a white Dodge Neon that Scott and Cheryl gave us. This car is one they were going to have towed off by a non-profit 'cause the transmission was shot. After Carol and I put $2,500 into a tranny, gear shift lever, Tires, cooling system work and alignment, the car was good to go. I drove it to work for about 6 months and this week we gave it to Katie and Russ so they would have a second set of wheels. Katie and Russ just love it. The little car gets great gas mileage. We are hopeful that it will give the kids a reliable second car for a while.

Happy camping! Eric and Carol Anderson

A car that runs good for $2500 is a great deal. We gave the kids our older Malibu and it has been a great car for them. Isn't it wonderful when you actually want to spend more time with your spouse? Even with being together 24/7 in 450 square feet, I still enjoy his company.
