Our Quick Visit to Pioneer, CA
Was actually earlier in the month of August, before my Mom's visit.

| Josh's Mom (Cheryl) & Josh |
Josh and I drove up (east) to his Mom's place for lunch and a quick visit before heading over to his friend Chris' parent's house for a get together. Chris and Josh are good friend from high school and Chris now works in Italy as a chef... Cannot wait to visit ;) I met a lot of people from Josh's home town/high school years, it was fun. I was the outsider of course, but they are all really nice people so it wasn't too painful. We stayed the night at his Mom's and the next day we attempted to go pick blackberries, but the summer had been so cool this year that they still weren't ripened. Along with Chris and his girlfriend Francesca, we all hiked down to an area by a river. Josh and his mom showed me how to pan for gold, ha! ...no gold for me, but we saw a father-daughter team with a bunch of tools, looking a little more focused so hopefully they had more luck than us. It was a beautiful day and sadly a short visit and Josh wanted to head out in time to show me Sutter Creek on the way home, which is where he grew up and where he worked in his grandparent's little restaurant. His brother Jake lives in the apartment loft on the top of the big white house where the restaurant was, but he wasn't home. This leads me to our little encounter that delayed us about 30 minutes:

We left our dog Indie in the car for a few minutes to see if Jake was home and when we returned there was a crazy lady screaming at us saying she called the cops on us for leaving our dog in the hot car. Um... we tried to not laugh and remain calm, but omg... it was late afternoon/mid-day sun, about 80-ish so a tad on the warm side, but the windows were all rolled down at least 5 inches (he could hang is head out), it was shaded in the back seat, but the silly dog of course has to go in the front when we leave, and again we were gone about 10 minutes. He was fine. If she hadn't been obnoxiously yelling at us and acting like we were irresponsible, abusive, crazy people, then I would have given her credit that she had no idea how long we were gone. *sigh... oh well. The police officer was really nice, said it was obvious the dog was fine and we were normal people, but that he'd rather be called before there was a problem. We were ready to get back to the city.
