Hi Everyone,
I wasn't sure if I would be able to check in but here I am!!! I'm in Medford, OR. at my cousin Bev's. Right now she is at the gym for her workout so I sat down to play at the computer.
First of all, my "rash" that isn't a rash is almost gone. I'm delighted, but it is a little itchy since it is clearing up but not to bad.
So far the trip has been pretty unevenful which is mostly a good thing. :-) My friend Pat had a yummy dinner the night I stayed with her. We had fresh salmon caught by her friend that lives with her, there was also a nice tossed green salad & corn on the cob. Later Tim fixed us all strawberry shortcake. I didn't head for Medford until late morning, stopped in Crescent City, a small town right on the coast, for my coffee fix at Starbucks & then headed inland. It was stormy, rained a lot, was very windy at times but not much traffic so a very easy drive. I got lost when I was going to my cousins! I have not lived in Medford for over 40 years & the changes are enormous. Mostly of those 40 years I was not driving around town much because of where my Mom lived & where my brother lives which is about 25 miles out. Anyway, I took a turn a block to soon coming to her house & wasn't sure where to go at this one intersection. I pulled into the parking lot at a mall & called, said "I'm lost"!! Boy it felt stupid. She just laughed, drove down to meet me so I could follow her home. I was so close!! It was funny. Now I have refreshed my memory & can get here okay. I will probably go see my brother tomorrow unless that is not a good day for him. Sunday I will head to my daughter's in Eugene. The weather here is more like winter which is feeling a bit chilly as when I left home Sunday morning it was up in the 60's before 10 in the morning. Befor I arrived yesterday they had thunder, lightening & hail, rain too!!
The picture above is a rock formation along the highway in Arizona. I'll have to see if I have a picture of my cousin & I from a previous trip.
Donna H, did you get your hair fixed for church? I'm glad you enjoyed meeting Kaylee/Linda. It would be so fun to meet any of you if that ever happens.
Amanda, is your ankle doing okay? I hate those little problems. Take care of yourself.
Margie, that Candy Cane Inn sounds like a good deal. You make me want to go to Disneyland...again! But then again there are a lot of other places I want to go to that I have never seen. Decisions, decisions!
I need to go call my brother before the day gets any later. Great to "chat" with all of you. I'll be back when I can.
Since I don't have an Oregon picture to post here is one at Bryce National Park. Another of the wonderful parks we have.
Take care, happy reading,
Donna M
