Paul and Mitchell at a GIANTS Game

Camping at Plasse’s resort on Silver Lake near Kirkwood on Hwy 88. Pretty rustic for TBB(The Bodacious Babette) without hookups but really pretty with our site right on a rushing creek

Went hiking with my Buddy Doug who drove up from Lodi this AM. Great hike but the trail was covered with a lot of snow which we had to climb, traverse and descend. Not easy but great fun and views

Met a young Man,Sebastian, from Munich who was bike riding from Salt Lake to SF. Fed him cookies and dessert which he greatly appreciated

Happy Trails for now and hope the wind is at you back

Jim, TBB and of course Abbie

Hello Family~

It is that time of year again for the Peracchi-DeMera Family gathering. The lawn way party will be this Sunday, July 31 at 5pm on Lawn Way in Capitola. Please bring something to sit on, something to drink and something to share.

The golf tournament is Monday, August 1 at Pajaro Valley Golf Course with a 10:30 tee time. Please coordinate your team with Cousin Jim if you have not already done so.

This is a wonderful tradition we have going so if you can make it please come. It is such a great time to catch up with everyone.

If there are family members I have missed (ie I am not FB friends with them) please forward this information to them. If you could, too please spread the word with your immediate families with date and time reminders.

Feel free to call, FB message or email me if you have any questions or comments.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Capitola this year.

Well, we have met the Kids of the nasty rude Woman next door who shall remain nameless but looks and sounds like a pissed off blond Roseanne Barr . They are such a lovely Brood!! Little Crosseyed Ruby Sue, Mordecai with the squirtgun, and Rocky with a fungus that hasn’t been identified yet. Can’t wait to bond with them later today

Happy Trails

Holla from Costanoa again!

Pictures are of Cooking up a little meatloaf and potatoes in the Dutch oven

Turned out just great

Got here and all set up enjoying the ocean view and getting ready to eat dinner when a nasty rude biscuit of a woman comes running up yelling you’re in our spot, you’re in our spot, you have to move right now!!

Turns out the spots are not marked real well and I was one spot over from where I should have been. How fun!! Had to break down camp, unhook everything and move everything over 1 spot. Thank God for the Serenity Prayer and some neighbors who we didn’t know but who came right over, didn’t say a thing but just started helping us move. Very cool of them

All is well now and looking forward to a good run and bike ride with Abbie and maybe even TBB (The Bodacious Babette) today

Happy Trails

Jimmy

Growing up....sitting, standing all by himself!

A happy smile of 9 teeth, 4 on the bottom, 5 on top!

Isaiah says words like mama, Dada but 2day he said a word he learned on his own. I gave him this little taste of my Japanese icecream and he looked right at me and goes "YUMMM!" haha I usually say yum after I take a bite of something good and was completely amazed he'd been watching me and understood to say that after eating something he liked. It was a great moment, he amazes me! Happy 10 month birthday Skittle!

Abbie & Blake

Howdy from Costanoa

Pic’s of Abbie with her new best friend 2 yr old Blake from Roseville

Cooked Peach Cobbler last nite and fed half the camp. Big hit all the way around. The stand the dutch oven is sitting on is from our neighbors with the hillbilly children who are all very nice. They shared some ass-kicking ribs with us and I shared cobbler. Guess that makes us related now in some states

Have met some fun people from all over. Everyone Shares recipes, camping spots and camping mishaps

Just starting the slow cook Southern Pork Shoulder over slow coals for our friends Mike and Lisa Liberty who are coming from Burlingame to have lunch

Hope it turns out or I’m feeding them leftover cold hotdogs

Happy Trails

Jimmy & Ivie biking in the Redwoods

Saturday in the Redwoods above Santa Cruz. Took the stream train up to the top of the mountain at Roaring Camp.

Starting to worry as I am really enjoying all of those things my parents used to force us to do

BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, TLB’s great chili beans and dutch oven peach cobbler last nite which Ivie made. Feel like a real pioneer roughing it

Heading home early today and back to the heat

Happy trails to all and back atcha next week from Castanoa

Jim, Babette, Ivie and of course “The Boss” Abbie
