We spent some time in the clubhouse today. Daniel wanted a big table to spread out the floor plan for the house we plan on building in Tennessee. We are still working on the layout. I really want a dinning room/library/office since we don’t eat at the table very often.
One thing we like using to keep track of places we want to visit is Google Maps. You can make lists, share the lists, and save places with your added notes. We have a “Today’s Adventure” list which we use when we have multiple things to see in one day. It helps plan our route efficiently. You have the option to view all your lists on the map or only one list, which is what we do when we have adventure days. You can add a place to multiple lists also.

I made crunchy chickpeas today. They are so easy and such a great snack. They are definitely better than potato chips and healthier and cheaper too.

We caught up on some chores including changing the sheets and flipping the mattress.
If you’re camping, don’t forget to check our campground reviews which include per night rates we paid plus what we liked and didn’t like.

We went to Santa Rosa, CA today to do some grocery shopping and explore the town a little. We have come to realize that some of the Walmarts in California are not the same as Walmarts in the rest of the country that we have explored so far. In California Walmarts, cake is in the produce section and there is only lettuce for greens. Some people have negative thoughts about Walmart but, since we’re grocery shopping all over the country, it’s nice to have some continuity. Lately, we have had to go to 3-4 stores to find everything we need. So, we are now on the hunt for a grocery store chain with good prices and the items we need since we will be in California for a few months.
Today is our last day in Cloverdale, CA. This is wine country and there are quite a few vegan wineries in the area. (It’s not uncommon for wine to be clarified using isinglass from fish bladders and egg albumin from egg whites among other things like blood and gelatin.) Unfortunately, due to me being on medications, we didn’t make it to a wine tasting room.
