Almost fall

I didn't realize it had been so long since we wrote last and a lot has happened. We celebrated Donna's birthday, our anniversary, our daughter and granddaughter's birthday and Tom had a colonoscopy. I'm happy to say that everything came out okay on that (pun intended) and he did have 5 polyps but they were all removed. He had a couple of uncomfortable days, but is doing great now.

We are starting to prepare for leaving Portland and it seems like we just got here! Tom is anxious to be on the road again and I wouldn't mind staying here longer as I think October is very pretty here. But, when it's time, it's time. We are heading south to our winter home. We will stop for a while at our daughter's to spend time with them.

We are excited about this winter. We have a number of Excel friends and other friends coming to Hemet to spend time together. We expect a winter of fun, travel, happy hours, card playing, knitting and playing pool. That's just a few of the things I can think of now. Hope all of you are preparing for winter either by traveling south or hunkering down for the cold weather. Enjoy the great weather while you can!!

Rootin' Tootin' Lunch



Portland Fairview RV Employee Luncheon

Friday evening, our neighbors, Kriss and Dan, invited us over for salmon and fried green beans and sweet potatoes. There were salads too and we had a great visit. We all have fun together throughout the summer.

On Saturday, our park managers provided an excellent lunch for all the employees of the park. It was western based and the food was delicious! We all cut up a little and really enjoyed it. See the pictures above. Then on Saturday evening, there was a karaoke evening. We have a large variety of talent here - some of it is excellent and some is okay. There are a couple who are very enthusiastic but not highly talented. We clapped enthusiastically for all of them. It's been a fun weekend. I hope everyone else is enjoying it too.

Our summer is coming to a fast close and it won't be long before we are going on the road again!
