more travel

Today we continue on our journey.

We have been here for a week, which is a fairly long time for 6 people to be in a very small house.

With Dea’s help I rebuilt a fence, hung a screen door and made a chain link gate. It was a good bit of work, but now it is time to move on.

Originally the trip was down in two days, stay a week and back in two days, but things have changed. Tomorrow we will head north into Oregon and stay with friends from the early 70’s. Then on to Portland.

Our youngest daughter (Lia) is to be out of town for a few days and we will “hang” with Emily, which is not punishment by any means.

Then a few days with each of the other daughters and their “above average” children!

This is winter and there is no real reason for us to stay home, but this is the first time we have ever made a round robin trip and visited every one.

It is very good.

Our trip today will be up the center of northern California on I5. The olive and nut orchards go on and on. Mt. Shasta is breath taking. It should be sunny the whole way!
