These last few weeks have been very busy and stressful. I want to say "Thank You" to Brent and Grey ! You guys are the greatest. You guys helped so many times and always had a smile on your face. Couldn't have done it without you !
Andy's garage sale was a hit ! She made a few bucks and bought some new outfits. She was happy girl.
Not only had we moved and gotten rid of a stuff, we spent time with family and friends while the weather was nice. Summers in the Northwest go quickly. We never did get to do the "Rogue River Trip".
We went to the Oregon Coast to visit Andy and Chris. They just purchased a beautiful beach cottage in Seaside, Oregon. Wow, it is nice! A great place to get away and relax. They even gave me green tomatoes from their garden. How lucky am I. Thanks guys !
Fried Green Tomatoes..YUMMY ! Soon Fried ! |
After we visited Chris and Andy we took a drive down the coast to Tillamook, Oregon. We joined Andy's parents, Otto and Barbara, and our RV club. We did relax but I found a new way to destroy my phone. I placed my phone on the hood of the car while I was doing something and forgot all about it. Yep... found my phone, 5 miles away along Highway 101. Must have been ran over 1000 times!
What about my warranty...it's not water damaged ! |
I want one of these |
Andy flirting |
Now she has her groove on |
After our RV club trip Otto and I decided to take a one (1) day salmon fishing trip out of Astoria, Oregon. It was a warm summer day and the seas were calm. I had a great time being on the water. I didn't catch a thing. Otto caught a nice salmon. We ate him for dinner a few hours later. Now that's fresh !!
Watch out ESPN...we roll different here in the Northwest ! |
Otto waiting for the "bite" |
He waited ..and waited..but he got his bite ! |
All the packing...the moving of stuff... the garage sales, all the to do lists are done. The house is rented and in good hands.
Andy's trip to the cabin was good !
I had to drop off Roxy, the dog, at Amy's. Andy couldn't do it ! For some of you that might not know, Amy is renting Andy's house. The dog stays with the house. The dog is in good hands. She will be loved and taking care of.
I had to take our home to the shop the other day to get the leveling jacks fixed. It was suppose to be just a couple of hours. Well, I was there from 8 AM until 5 PM. It sucks to have your home in the shop...hope to avoid such things in the future. Yea right.... I can dream !
Now we are staying in Andy's parents driveway. They have been so kind and nice to invite us. We have full hook ups too...can you believe that ! I even have a place to hook up my Sat TV. I am glad I bought a portable unit since we are parked under the trees.
We will be here on and off until we head south for California and Arizona ...and beyond !! Remember this will be the start of our two (2) year full timing trip. Andy will let me know when we can leave. lol I am guessing December 2012.
Next week we are going to take a six (6) day trip with Otto and Barbara around the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Going to spend some time in the "Rain Forest" and hopefully do some fishing.
I will be updating the blog more often now that we are full timing in Epinephrine.
