Day 62, "Every picture has a story"
After stopping in Cartago CA which is on CA highway 395 we ventured into Death Valley National Park.  With a temp of 116 that day we did not stay too long.  California has more national parks than any other state.  On that trip, in 2013, we took in Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Lassen and Pinnacles which is the ONLY national park that I would say is not worth going out of your way to see.  As far as Terry and I could tell it was made into a park through political channels and serves as a get away for people in central CA.  On another trip a year later we took in Redwood National Park and Channel Island National Park which is a series of islands in the Pacific Ocean.  A person could make a entire long vacation seeing all the parks in CA.  Among our favorites are Sequoia and Kings Canyon as those HUGE trees are just beyond belief.  I forget but on one tree they said how many houses could be built out of the lumber in the tree.  Also one had a base circumference of 125 feet!  How about the for a footprint?  We do need to take in the Arch in St. Louis which is now a national park.  I think it became one last February.  AND of course those 2 in Hawaii and one in American Somoa which are still on our radar but not tomorrow.

I do not have tennis planned for today.  I THINK I may take care of the wires/cords from the TV mounted on the wall.  I need to make a hole in the wall behind the TV, bring the cords through the hole down to a hole near the floor and then bring them out to the back of the machines in the cabinet.  At this time seeing several cords coming out of the TV and going down to the cabinet does not look too great.  We did clean the floors yesterday.  I do my best by taking my court shoes off in the garage but still that darn clay seems to find its way into the house and make the entire floor home.  I am not sure the floors are all that much better but I do believe they are brighter and as I emptied the water we did get up a lot of dirt.  Terry also got some Christmas cookies made yesterday for her Tuesday party but I think she will make some more.  I still have to decide what I want to do the day of the party.  I really need to get FAR away from a party of 20 women!!!

Breakfast is over, the FP is gone and it is now on to some work.
