Here is a picture of our truck and our new home on wheels. I wonder if we will ever be able to do the traveling that it is for?? I sure hope so!


Wow, where has the time gone? It has been a long while since I posted to this blog! We left Minnesota on the 25th of September, headed to Montana and to Wyoming to pick up our new home on wheels. ( I thought that I had a picture of it, but I don't!) Anyway, Roger and Janet wanted to have it gone before they headed to Arizona so we picked it up on the 30th of September, but we continued to stay in Billings until the 20th of October, with a quick run to Great Falls for a short visit. Unfortunately, I was sick when we left MN and continued to be until just today I am finally feeling better. I am not sure just what all was wrong with me, but it was just one thing after the other. Since I am a little better perhaps I can get caught up here!

While we were in Billings, one of our dear friends was killed in an airplane accident. We are saddened by his loss. Dave's was able to attend his funeral which left everyone encouraged to live their life in God's control.

My brother Merle was moved to Billings to a beautiful nursing home and so I also got to spend some time with him. He is failing, but I love his gentle spirit that still shines through.

Flowers that said "Welcome Back to Oregon!"

We had this cute sign posted on our refrigerator welcoming us to our new home! Thanks, kids!

Myself and Merle

We are getting settled into life in Oregon. We got a royal Oregon welcome by the rain some of our first days! The part that I do not like about Oregon! But we got a far more royal welcome by our friends. We had kept it a surprise that we were coming back, so it was fun to see the looks of surprise on their faces. We have had several meals in their homes already and it just feels right to be here. Of course, I could enjoy the sunshine of Arizona during the winter months, but I doubt that I will get to go there this winter.

For now, I am content trying to get our little house in order and hope to get to some crafting one of these soon coming days. It has been some time since I did any card making.

Thanks for stopping by and we will chat again one of these days.
