Pictures of the trip here.

I have landed in my new journey home spot. I got here on Monday but it took me several days to get my feet under me. In fact I woke up this morning and wasnt ready to get up. So I went back to bed and slept for another 3 hours. Now this is after a 2 hour nap yesterday. Maybe there should be another chapter in the book(Eat*Pray*Love) sleep...

The trip from my daughters house where I had been staying in Portland, I went down I-5 to Cottage Grove and turned and headed West to the Coast line. I took Hwy 38 and Went through
Drain,Oregon. This is on place I have never been. But how beautiful this was. The weather was so pretty. The bluest skies I have ever seen. I passed a drift boat on the river and i couldnt tell where the boat stopped and the river started.

I got to my destination and got the car unpacked. To late to make a good dinner, so we went out to dinner. Because of the time change it gets dark very early. But the moon was full.
I will add pictures tomorrow...going out for a walk and see the storm that is blowing in

24 hour countdown

The car is packed and the clock is ticking. I have said good bye to many of you, headed off on my
traveling journey. I have to say this is not with out may tears. And second thoughts. However it is time to go and see what this holds for me. Change is always scary, all ways second thought, all ways
what if????

As I have now passed into the second half of my life I dont want to ever say.....What if!!!!

For any of you that have not yet read Eat*Pray*Love by Elizabeth Gilbert its time!! You will have a new out look on life. Go to the library and check out the audio. Stick it in the car and listen to it while you drive. Its a great way to "read" a book. Also you will not have spent any money and need any more space to store it when you have listened to it. It a "Green "thing to do.


So its up early in the morning and put the few last minute things in and hit the road.

Tupperware!!!

Got up yesterday and thought that it would be a good idea to sent the kids(my daughter and her hubby) off for a day of enjoyment and fun. I volunteered to watch the kids for the day.
I only had to say it once before they were out the door and on there way.
Bug had a day of playing with friends planned.
Sunshine was happy to sit in front of the TV playing countless hours of of a video game. And as much as tried to explain it to me....I dont get it!!!
So that left me with Peanut.....At the age of 3 talking is a full time job. It never end...."thats this...thats that"
He got into the Tupperware drawer and pulled out the biggest bowl and played with it. I stopped to see what was going on and why it was quite........And there he was sitting in the bowl.......happy as can be....
Thank you Tupperware!!!!!

Getting your wings

I am set to go meet up with my traveling partner Nov 2. But for the time being I am staying at my daughters house.

I have three grandkids

Peanut on( Toots my daughters lap)hes 3

And Rock Star ( the kids dad and my son-in-law)

So today Sunshine and Rock Star were out side and
it was time to take the training wheels off the bike.
Sunshine did great!!! Only one fall and no tears....
It was a big day!!
So lucky that I was here to be a part of it.....

What started the whole journey

Ashland,Oregon . This is what we traveled in with Harley in tow.



Mt.Shasta, Ca






Ferndale, Ca.









The Redwoods, Ca.


In the weeks and months to come I will be writing about the new journey that I am going to start.
There comes a time in your life when its just simply time to travel. I will be joining up with a
friend of mine that is a campground host. Together we are going to spending time on the
Southern Oregon coast hosting for camp ground.....Now I know that you are saying to yourself "That sounds like some fun." Well!!! I will be taking you on this journey with me. I will be taking pictures and telling stories about the places we are staying.
We have traveled before. Two years ago we went to the Redwoods together. And this last year we took a month and logged over a thousand miles starting in Salem and headed to Mt Shasta.
After two day we moved on the Clear Lake in Northern Ca. The weather kept getting hotter as
we headed to Napa Valley. It was short lived and we moved North to the Redwoods and the itch to get back home to Oregon. We played for a week up 101 of Oregon.
So after all of this we thought that were can try it for an extended time...What the heck!!!
So you get to fallow along.........Enjoy....and comment.
