Last time I wrote, we had just arrived home in Door County. Then Jamey’s server went down, and so did my blog. Jamey got it back up (sort of) just in time for me to tell you that we have left Door County for the last time as residents. I’m warning you, this is an extra long blog to catch up on, so read it when you sit down to have your coffee, or whenever you have a spare hour during your day!

Finally! A chance to write!
So much has happened since the last time I wrote, but I’ve been too busy and too exhausted to write until now.

There is an annual event at the Liberty Grove Historical Society in Ellison Bay that I vend at. I have a booth for The Longest Day, the fundraising branch of the Alzheimer’s Association. The was the weekend for the event and I was there all weekend.

I had COVID-19 and was off work all last week, so I was a little bit weak when I started back to work at the Welcome Center yesterday. Today was my day to work at the Noble House and it was raining, so there were two possibilities for how my day might go.

Tonight, all three of them were off work and asked if we could take them down to Walmart in Sturgeon Bay. We did that, and then we had an opportunity to take them to dinner and on a little tour.

You may have noticed that you either get feast or famine from me. My mother called me last night and said that I hadn’t written in a while, and when I checked, it’s been nearly a month since my last blog. Usually, it’s because I haven’t had anything to report, but this time it’s because I’ve been too busy to write, so this might be a long blog.

Today I dressed a little cooler than I did yesterday, and wouldn’t you know it, it was only in the 70’s! We also got a little later start this morning than we did yesterday, but fortunately, my sister reminded me that we don’t have to be in Oregon until Wednesday. We were thinking of pushing to get there tomorrow.

Yesterday, Mark told me he and Pastor Adam were going to go out to a site to look at some steel that’s being donated to the church. I asked if I could go and he asked why I wanted to go. I said, “For something to do.” He warned me there might be scorpions and rattlesnakes and I said, “I’ll wear my boots!” I got to go.

First things first
I slept well through the night last night. I must have been exhausted considering I had slept on the plane and then napped in the afternoon!
