Well it has been awhile since my last posting and I don't want my readers to think I am not going to keep this blog up. It is hard when we travel because we don't get internet, but i will do my best. Our first night we traveled to Port Orford and stayed the night. Plans were to go on the Jet Boat ride out of Gold Beach. We would have to had to get up about 6 a.m. and we decided that since we have done it once that we did not want to get up that early. The next day the 16th we traveled to Cresent City where we stayed for 2 nights. We spent that time touring around the Red Woods as we have never been there before and we had a very nice time. We went down a road that was traveled by stage coaches in many days gone by.. It had very little improvement since then it was curvy and narrow but very beautiful scenery. Upon leaving

we decided to travel hwy. 1 along the coast it was very curvy with steep up and downs very slow going when they say 15 mph they mean it. We stayed right on the beach for the night it was a k.o.a. and very expensive but our big splurge. It was great. We then traveled on to Sana Rosa. That eve. we went to a Mexican restraunt seen on Diner and Dives, found on the food network it was very good. The next couple of days was spent touring San Francisco we did take the Alcatraz Tour and found it to be very interesting and worth going. Finally on the 22nd we headed for Renee's. We took a few back roads with a lot of farm land enjoyed it but I never get to read my book as we keep going to places where I have not seen the countryside but there will be plenty of time for reading. Well I think I have caught you up to date as we have been at Renee's about a week and spending a lot of time being grandparents and loving it. Have a great time until we catch up with you again at a later date. We send our love a prayers for all.

I can't believe that we only have about 4 or 5 days until we leave. Yesterday we spent more time packing the motor home and then we went to dinner with 6 of our very dear friends. We had a wonderful time but it reminds us of the fact that we are not only going to miss family but we truly are going to miss our very good friends. Today fri. we are going to take plants over to my sister Sandy as she says she would love to try and keep them alive(ha ha) it is our last chance to spend some time with her. Saturday we are going to visit some friends that are camping they want us to have dinner with them, will be a great time. Sunday we are going out to mom and dads they are also going to take care of a very special christmas cactus for us. They are taking us out to lunch and this will be our last time to see them before leaving at least I think it will be. Terry has a dr. appt. on Mon. and then just finishing up last minute details and off we go. Well love to all and have a great week.

There is not much of anything different to post this week over last week . We are still just putting things in the motor home and preparing the motor home for the trip. It is nice in many ways to have so long to prepare because each day we do things and remember things we want to do or take with us. Maybe in some ways it isn't good because we take more. I truly am trying to limit myself but at the same time I hate to leave anything behind that may ruin while we are gone and we need it anyway at some point. While going through things and picking out what we are taking I am getting a lot of deep cleaning done. When we get back home it will all need done again and that is sad. Well maybe next week will be more interesting as it will very close to time to leave. We are hitting the road soon after the 15th of Sept. Well all have a great week and God Bless.
