Several people from my church gathered this afternoon (in 99 F heat) to go to the Degrazia Gallery. Degrazia was an American painter who studied under Diego Rivera. In 1963, he did a series of paintings of the Stations of the Cross that are only brought out during Lent. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the artwork, but I got photos of some of the other things around the grounds.

Continue readingYesterday morning, Mark and I left Oregon and entered Idaho. At some point during the day, I had a setback that made me not feel like writing last night, so I’m combining 2 day’s worth of pictures in one post.
Continue readingMark and I were eager to get out of the RV park at the casino this morning. I don’t think this was the case when we were there many years ago, but there were prickly things about the size of pea gravel all over the ground. If we went out with our shoes on, the shoe soles would be covered in them when we got back to the RV. We would try to clean off the soles of our shoes and still, some would get tracked into the RV, and if we stepped on them with bare feet, it was very painful. When Mark had to take Tucson out to do her thing, she would be limping before walking very far. I’m sure that the Grand Sierra Resort is a great place to stay if you’re in the hotel, but I don’t recommend it if you have pets in the RV parking lot.

Last night, he said he’d probably spend the night in Green Bay tonight so that he could get a new set of tires for my car (I’ve had a flat tire since Thursday and haven’t been able to go anywhere). This afternoon, he texted me and said, “See you soon!”, and I said, “Like today?” He sent me a big grin!
Continue readingToday was my birthday. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and as I was washing my hands, I was humming “Happy birthday to me!” I had to get up at 6:00 this morning to go to a tourism breakfast in Sturgeon Bay with my boss and co-workers from the Welcome Center, but it was fun. We have a new staff member and it was a good opportunity to get to know her better.
