More Fun and Family

We have enjoyed more family time and some occasional company!! This past Wednesday found us surrounded by all except three of our entire family - we missed Sheila, Nolan, and Warren, and Brian was here for just a brief two days, but I will take it. Keith, Janet, and the girls arrived Tuesday evening and we will be together for two weeks. Jim and the girls were here for dinner on Wednesday evening as well!!

The six of us leave tomorrow for our week-long Alaska cruise. This day seemed very remote when we booked last January, but here it is. When we get to Juneau, Ken and I and the girls will go on a dog sled ride and visit a kennel. The rest of the trip will be lots of relaxing and family time.

In the midst of everything else, less than two weeks ago we drove to Eugene and finally found the right motor home for us. Needless to say, that process has created a bit of extra angst and pandemonium, but we are well pleased. It is a 2005 Horizon so Ken gets his diesel pusher and we gained four more feet in length. So two round trips to Eugene plus 24 hours of moving and technician time made our trip to Spokane for my reunion a bit of a rush.

We left Eugene last Thursday about five and got as far as south of Portland and then we were up at four the next morning to get to Spokane at a reasonable time to attend the first reunion event on Friday. It was all good.

The reunion was most enjoyable. I am always surprised to find us visiting with and having much in common with lots of folks that I barely knew in school. The wife of one of my classmates owns a quilt shop in Michigan :), and another and his wife are full-time RVers!

I will come back with a full report when we return from the cruise. Ciao.
