The Sundial Bridge in Redding

On the way home from Mt Shasta, we stopped in Redding to see the famous Sundial Bridge, pictured above. Shasta was beautiful, but snowy and cold. Winter has arrived there.

Getting settled in


We are preparing to have family over for Thanksgiving. It will be our first "party" here so we are looking forward to that. Things are mostly put away -- we hung many of my vintage Art Deco prints last week -- but we still need to sort out our books.

This weekend we are heading to Shasta for a wedding. I have never been up there so am interested to see this mountain town. I heard it is already snowy there.

De-Icing Required Before Take Off

This is an old picture of Lena, back when she could still fit her girth into the red coat.
 
If only the runway was longer she could have attained liftoff...

Speed Checked By Radar

It was not a good weekend for the Corvette, which inexplicably decided to start having lunging problems while driving.
 
We pulled off Fair Oaks, and called Hagerty's RoadSide Assistance, which sent a flat bed truck to take the car home.
 
I am baffled, as I have never had this issue before with the car.  Typically when it acts up, its usually electrical gremlins at work, which I know how to deal with.
 
So next on my never ending list of things to do is to find a good classic car mechanic nearby.
 
We still had a very busy weekend, unpacking the house and shopping for essentials.
