Carols 51st Birthday

This weekend Carol celebrated her 51st birthday. The celebration started on Saturday with a visit to Bill, Loretta and Brandon's in Pioneer. At their home, we were also joined by Carol's sister Sandy and her husband Bill as well as Carol's brother Calvin and his wife Joyce. Billy, Loretta and Brandon have now been living at their home in Pioneer for a couple full months now, with Billy retired and Loretta working at a title company office in Jackson. With the move to the foothills, Loretta's drive from Pioneer to Jackson actually results in a shorter commute!

 
Carol and I got the chance to enjoy some time with our family members. We are always glad to see everyone, but especially, we are so glad every time we are able to spend time with Brandon. Billy, Calvin and Bill brought some Pizza from Pine Grove Pizza, which is one of Carol's favorites. Their Pizza is one which in our estimation is the best in the Sacramento region.
 
Sandy and Bill brought Carol a wonderful birthday cake with which we were all able to enjoy while helping Carol celebrate her birthday.

On Tuesday, the day of Carol's actual Birthday, I gave Carol a shirt from a non profit organization called TADSAW, which adopts shelter dogs and turns them into therapy dogs for retired members of our armed forces which have PTSD. Carol's co-workers also got together and bought Carol a new wallet which was made in the USA! Carol wanted to go to Logans Road house in Citrus Heights for her birthday dinner. Something a little different to enjoy. Though the reports on Yelp weren't all that favorable, we found the service and food both very good!

We were also so thankful that Katie and Russ were able to join us for Carols birthday dinner. Every time we are able to get together with Katie and Russ, we find ourselves having such an enjoyable evening.
 
Every day we are together we so enjoy life together. But celebrating an event like Carol's birthday always make days like those, just that much more special.
 
Tune in soon for an update as we enter into the Halloween season!
 
Happy camping! Eric and Carol
