Oxnard with MaryLu and Al


After we left Pismo Beach, we headed a short way down the coast to Oxnard, where we visited with my stepmother MaryLu and her husband Al. We had a great time seeing their place, sharing some good meals and talking late into the night, at least by our standards!

The full moon was near when we visited.


MaryLu has painted the inside of the house with great colors. I'd never imagine that they'd all go together so well as they do!

They've got a really nice garden area in the back yard.

And we saw some excellent sunsets while we were there. When we left Oxnard, we skirted the major LA area to the north and stayed off of the interstate until we hit 15 at Cajon Pass above San Bernardino. En route, we saw a firewood lot and stopped off for as much as we could fit in the truck bed. We purchased peach wood. Split trunks and whole limbs. We'd have to wait until we hit Joshua Tree National Park before we'd find out how it burned. I had my doubts if we'd be able to get the split trunk pieces to burn, they were pretty darn dense.
