I’m sitting on hold with the IRS, so I thought this would be a good time to write about what Mark and I did on Saturday. We took a day trip up to Mount Lemmon which looks like it’s practically in our back yard but took forever to get to by road. Continue reading
Mark and I again agreed to meet at the second light today because I didn’t feel I’d done very well yesterday. Continue reading
So many of you congratulated me on reaching the first stoplight on my bicycle yesterday that I feel compelled to briefly tell you about my attempt to ride to the second stoplight this morning. As I said before, it was mostly downhill to the first stoplight, but not so to the second stoplight. I had to do more pedaling and go over a few humps. I was tired by the time I caught up with Mark ten minutes after he arrived at our meeting place. I told him I’ll meet him there again tomorrow and perhaps the rest of the week until I get stronger. My legs felt like rubber when I got off my bike. I’ll get better, but I need to take it slowly at first.
Several of you have commented on my plan to bicycle to work. This morning I headed off early to bike to the first stoplight. It felt like it was eight or ten blocks from where we live, but it may have been less. I didn’t count. Continue reading

We spent a long, hard day driving today. We had hoped to be able to make it to Blythe, CA on the border with Arizona, but by the time we got to Palm Springs, we were just glad to be able to find a place to stay! Continue reading
No problems with the RV today, but there were a couple things that kept the day from being routine. First of all, we had to give Tucson a trazodone pill to calm her down. It worked. She was fairly quiet all day after it kicked in! Continue reading
We did something this morning we haven’t particularly done before. We actually planned to leave late! Continue reading
We finally made it here. We arrived around noon and then Mark tried to get everything set up. For some reason, our electrical keeps tripping the breaker, so we will need to use the generator in the RV until Mark can find the parts to fix it. We also need to get another hose so we can hook up to water. We are just really happy to have landed, and the family has been contacting us to welcome us back. Since I wasn’t able to show pictures from yesterday, I’ll include some of those today. Continue reading
So close and yet so far! It was after dark when we arrived in Hood River. As soon as we entered the Gorge, we ran into strong winds. Mark was exhausted by the time we got here. Continue reading
