Five for Friday

So, I have to admit I'm not very creative or clever. Many of the "ideas" I have are plagiarized from Pinterest, cookbooks, blogs, friends, etc. Take today's post for example, my friend Z has spent the past 2 summers traveling internationally and wrote a blog about it. Each Friday she included "Five for Friday" with 5 interesting facts, highs, lows, funnies, etc. Today I will plagiarize her blog, but certainly give credit where credit is due. Thank you, Z, for your clever, witty, and inspirational ways!

1. Making new (animal) friends:

Otter family on the lake

Thomas the turtle

I want a lizard

2. Safe travels through WA, OR, CA, and NV so far!

Welcome to running for 1/2 mile to take this picture while traffic whizzes by at 70 mph

This was much safer to take

This one even had a turnout for maximum safety

3. Birthday generosity from D and M (R's parents) to Ruth's Chris steak house! Mouthwatering!
   (And In and Out burger which cannot be overlooked when visiting the in-laws!)

Birthday yummies!

Get it protein style-blow your mind!

4. Low: car overheating while driving around Mt. Shasta

5. High: friendliness and generosity of strangers while in various parking lots trying to assess my car's condition and above and beyond excellent service at Timmon's Auto Center in Pleasant Hill, CA! 

P.S. So far car is performing optimally. :)

Please send us prayers on our next leg of the trip to Salt Lake City then Denver for my car's performance and continued safe travel!
