Day 40, May 3, 2020 - Camping!! Yes, at Chuck's house

First thing this morning I did my exercise routine and then made time to attend the streamed mass from my parish -- Our Lady of Snows in Reno.  It's weird but oddly comforting to be able to carry on the practice of Sunday Mass.  The pastor informed us that there would be no drive-in service -- pretty sure there is not enough room in the parking lot.  I just can't imagine it anyways.  The Catholic Church doing something like that when they can't even ordain women?  And they need priests  so much.  What's up with that?  I really don't think that Jesus told anyone that women couldn't be priests.  I wonder where that came from....

If you can't go to the campgrounds you find someone who lives in what seems like a campground.  Chuck's house is located in Loyalton on the edge of a subdivision.  It faces BLM and land owned by California Fish and Game.  The dirt road outside his door is county and goes for miles.  Soon as we got here we pulled the bikes off the truck and took a little ride.  Ceilidh loved being off the leash.  There is something about this place that I just love.  I don't think I could live here permanently but it sure is an oasis to get away to.

Look at these views!! and the clouds.   Only an hour from downtown Reno.  Am I lucky or what!!

Tonight we will be hosting a cocktail party on Zoom.  I know it is not the same but it sure is nice to keep in touch in real time. 

We will be here camping until Wednesday afternoon.  Hopefully by then my pickleball set will have arrived and I can go over to the tennis courts and practice hitting the ball against the wall.  Maybe I can get Carila to practice with me . . . .

By the way the way, here's a question for you.  Does anyone else find that when using an electric toothbrush you need to pee?  Sorry but I have been wondering about that for awhile and finally remembered to ask.
