Our New Addition

Our New Baby, Chase

Last weekend, Tom made a trip to Pennsylvania to pick up our newest addition - a 2005 Chevy Cobalt LT. We had been considering buying a car to do our daily running around in and not have to always use the truck (ol' Tug). This opportunity arose from our good friends, Paul and Cheryl in Pittsburgh and we jumped on it. Tom flew out to Pittsburgh and then drove back to Oregon in the new ride. We named it "Chase" because it's going to be our chase car when we travel. Donna will drive the car and Tom will pull the rig - Donna will follow him. On his way back to Oregon, he was able to visit Donna's sister, Sally; friends in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. That helped to break up the trip and make it more fun, but he enjoyed the trip too. He loves to get out and drive.

Tom arrived home on the 4th of July and got to spend some time with our good friend, Barb, from Victoria, B.C. She had come to Portland to spend the weekend with Donna for a "girl time" while Tom was gone. It was so much fun and we had lots of good talks, eating, shopping and playing cards. It was hard to see her go. We both enjoy her company very much.

Life is getting back to normal, working in the park, Tom working on his projects, and Donna knitting. The water aerobics is going well - Tom is very consistent with it and we're getting some people in the park to join us this year.

Hope you're all enjoying your summer.
