Home again,How wonderful!!

We traveled down the coast of Oregon to Ashland and had a short visit with dear friends Ed and Eldora Nelson. They are now living in a lovely assisted living apartment. They are happy there. We all will miss them in Yuma now.

Drove across Northern California into Nevada then on to Orem,Utah for a short visit with a very dear friend of many years, Sylvia Shields. Our last stop was in Havasu City, AZ for a short visit and lunch with another couple Bill and Donna Wendt. We have been friends for over 63 yrs. On the 16th we drove into our own driveway, what a blessing. Home at last. I do love to travel but coming home is really the best.

Now getting back in the groove, that is work too. How very fortunate we are at our age to still be able to take a driving vacation for 4138 miles. Thank you Lord.

meeting Debbie

We met Debbie Simpson the lady in Mel's life. A sweet lady. We hit it off immediately. She was apprehensive to meet us. Poor lady. In her shoes I would feel the same. She and Mel are off to a party this afternoon. Again poor Debbie is to meet folks that knew Susie. Life moves on and Mel deserves someone in his life too. Still anxious to be heading home.

At Susie's garden

August 6, 2010

Here we are in Oregon on the coast. Susie's garden is just a matter of feet away. No matter how long ago she left us it seems just yesterday. Mel has been so very welcoming. To night we will go out to dinner with he and his lady. We will celebrate our 63rd Anniversary which is August 8, 1947. My Oh My!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many people were wrong. It LASTED. On our Way toward home on Monday Morning
