I offered to go to Oregon to help my sister Lora move. She has really been struggling with her back and so I thought I would help out. She called and suggested that I call our brother Russ, he and his family are going up to go camping with Lora and her family. Then I could drive back to Utah with her and her kids when they come for our family reunion.
Russ and Jenni and their kids were wonderful for taking me with them. We camped at Camp Lookout by Tillamook Oregon. It was a nice campground, kind of old but close to the beach. The temperature was cool but the kids and Russ actually played in the ocean. We camped from Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. We went to Lora's house for Friday night. Russ and his family headed out early Saturday morning. They took Lora's two youngest with them. Anyway Saturday we did some packing and to the farmers market in Hillsboro. Sunday church and then Monday the moving happened. George had hired some movers, boy were they ever a treat. But we got most everything moved out of the old house and into a new one. And it was sooooooooo hot. We learned later in the day that it was 105 degrees. We were literally dripping. We were hot and tired but felt that by the end of tuesday we had things pretty good. Lora felt that she could leave the next morning and be gone for almost 10 days. So we headed out at 4:45 a.m. We actually made really good time and made it to my house in 14 hours. Marc had headed out for a high adventure camp in the tetons so I won't see him until Saturday. this is the longest I have actually been away from him and the girls. He has been gone and the girls have been gone but I am usually home....i missed Marc and girls but I was glad I was able to go.
I have asked my neice to send me a couple of pictures if I get them I will try to add them to my blog.
