#108 - I did pretty good all in all but upon making coffee for the three of us and not using sugar myself and not knowing my way around the cupboard, I put a spoon of salt instead of sugar into “Mom’s
That was quite a trip and not the lsd kind, the town to town to 395, one of my favs too, kind. Along with Highway 1. Almost didn't make it over Tioga pass on my motorcycle one time when it sputtered in the thin air near the summit. You have a knack for bringing on the good memories, James! Sounds like you had fun.
Shino's parents were easy to please and we had a good time. I've been across Tioga Pass on motorcycle and I remember having much less power. Most noticeable on the steep climb up from Lee Vining. Thank you for your very nice comment, Victor!
That was quite a first visit. You really gave them the grand tour and lots of memories, even camping! The salt in the coffee sounds like something I would have done. How thoughtful of you to have arranged for them to meet your family while they were there. Did your in-laws try their luck on the slots while in Las Vegas?
We had a good time. I still wonder how I mistook the salt for the sugar. Yes, they did spend some time at the slots. They had their "entertainment" money and contributed it all to the local economy. Thank you, K.C.!
What an adventurous first-time meeting of the in-laws! I enjoyed the trip you took. A lot of those places are familiar to me, and are just beautiful! Loved the “salted coffee!”Wonderful Story, James Ron!!
Such a coincidence: I've been drafting a post about my first meeting with the in-laws! Also, a story about sugar and salt. This was a delightful read 😀
This was great fun to read, and interesting on many levels: the desert, the mountains, the micro-climates and a young man brave enough to take his new in-laws camping. I hope you will write about your visit to Japan.
Wow! What a wonderful adventure you took your Japanese family on. They must have been awestruck by the broad vistas, the long mountain ranges, the absence of people -- just the vastness of our state in comparison to Japan. They have never forgotten it, I am sure. Thanks for sharing this with us, James Ron. So interesting.

Hi, Sharon, so many sights to take in near us, aren't there? Can't go far without one beautiful place or another showing itself. Thank you very much!
That's crazy! I look forward to reading it. Thank you, Terry.

Glad you liked it, Jim. Thank you. A young man without yet an appreciation of "What could go wrong?" : )
Wonderfully gentle and softly humorous memoir Ron. Cross cultural marriages are so much fun.
Mad Max - filmed just down the road from here. Well, about a thousand km down that road.
Thank you, Bob! Our marriage has been a rewarding one, for sure. Very cool re Mad Max filming.
That is the best meeting the in-laws story I ever read. It sounds like they are adventurous good sports. You married real good!
Thank you so much, Switter! They were a lot of fun and up for anything, and yes, I did marry real good! Truly blessed.

Thank you, Sharron! We had a fine time. They were pretty much wide eyed the whole trip. They were good travelers.
I always enjoy your 'slices of life'.
Thank you very much!
