Portland

Have been in Portland staying with my high school friend, Carol and dealing with some really hot weather, mostly over 90 degrees every day.  Luckily Carol has air conditioning so we have been comfortable except when we are between the house and the car.   It is wonderful to be able to see Mt Hood every day even though it is somewhat hazy. Fun to attend the mini-class reunion on Saturday and see some old friends from high school.  Always fun to see how much older everyone else looks than we do!!!  This is a picture of three of the fearsome foursome that have been together since high school.  Connie lives in Vancouver, BC and was not able to come down this time.

Carol and I have been going back and forth to the hospital with Pat for three days as her husband has had surgery and has developed a number of additional problems. In and out of the hospital three times a day makes one know the importance of taking good care of ones bod!!! Pat will not be able to join Carol and I when we go to visit Connie in Canada but maybe next time.

So, tomorrow morning we are off, blazing a trail to Canada, actually we will be on I-5 for most of the trip!!  We understand the weather is changing and temperatures will be in the 60's so should be a little more pleasant.  Happy trails to us and will be in touch soon.
