I returned to Ca (drove w/3 of my Bullies) to show in Ventura (my favorite Ca show) and to visit with family and friends. I left Friday, June 29 and returned home Monday, August 6. My mom accompanied me home. We took 6 days to see the country and visit various places: Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Rio Grande Gorge and other places. Mom will stay and visit until the 17th of Aug.
