Jim picked up Kathy on Monday and they were back to Rio Vista by mid afternoon. It was good to learn that all Kathy's medical cards, coverages, etc were current and we were able to get a doctor's appointment for her for Friday morning. In addition to getting a complete physical workup for Kathy, we're hoping to get a referral to a good dental clinic.
Not everything has been business - Yesterday we went to the Jelly Belly Factory. The tour itself takes about 40 minutes, but we were there for about 2 1/2 hours! It seems that all the day camps, youth groups, summer camps etc. take a Jelly Belly factory tour as part of their summer program. The line to get in was out the door and down the block when we arrived. We had to stand in line for over an hour to get in. I'm pretty much saturated with yelling kids for the rest of the summer. Once we were actually on the tour, it was pretty interesting and I think Kathy enjoyed it. We were given Jelly Belly samples and made a trip to the gift shop after the tour (doesn't everyone!) In the belly flops section they had a jelly bean that somehow had a strawberry center and watermellon coating. We didn't try that, but they were selling them cheap!
After the tour, we discovered Wal-Mart was just around the corner from the Jelly Belly Factory so we had to stop there before heading home. It made a long day and we were both exhausted. Thankfully, Jim had made his wonderful Pasta Toscana for dinner while we were gone. Had dinner been left up to me, it could have ended up being peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Kathy had mentioned that she wanted to see Locke and Isleton since she had heard us talking about them. We headed out there today and had lunch at the Locke Chinese Garden. Most of these little towns pretty much shut down during the week, so there wasn't much to see except old buildings. Tomorrow we're doing the tour of Rio Vista and Trilogy and will probably have lunch at the point.
All in all, Jim and I are enjoying our visit with Kathy. Even Bustopher has warmed up to her and he doesn't generally speak to any of our visitors. We hope she's having a good time, too.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim

I know that line at the "JELLY BELLY" factory was so long but when we finally got there it was nice. I was surprized to find out that they make other stuff besides jelly belly jelly beans. I really liked it.
