I guess I haven’t mentioned yet that we ended up keeping Tucson. I had gotten a call from a neighbor saying that she’d heard of someone who might be interested in meeting Tucson, so I was getting all set to get rid of her, but Mark was really depressed. He loves her. To his credit, he wasn’t going to stop me from giving her away after what she did to me, but he was miserable. I finally told him if he can take her to work with him and everywhere else he goes, he can keep her. He took the passenger seat out of his work truck to accommodate her and he has been good at taking full responsibility for her. Continue reading

From Ellison Bay, WI
We left Bismark around 9:00 this morning and arrived in Ellison Bay around 10:00 tonight. It’s been a long, strange day. Continue reading
From Bismark, ND
Montana is a long state! I think we left Missoula at about 9:15 MT this morning, and we didn’t get to the eastern border until 6:00 this evening. Somewhere in North Dakota, we crossed into the Central time zone to arrive at our hotel around 9:30 CT. Of course, we made a few stops along the route.
From Missoula, MT
This morning, Mark and I packed up the truck and put the dog in the back and headed out. This is the first time in several years that we have traveled east from Portland through the gorge, and I had almost forgotten how beautiful it is. There were signs of the fire that burned in the area, but it is still beautiful and I could barely put my camera down. Continue reading
The Oregon Trail
I’m beginning to leave a trail in the air between Wisconsin and Oregon. I am leaving in the morning to go back to Oregon and I won’t be back to Wisconsin until next spring. Continue reading
Home again
I actually returned home late Tuesday night, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to sit down and write since I got back. I am at my own computer now, so I have an opportunity to send the pictures I took while I was gone. Continue reading
Becoming extraneous
I am trying to write this blog on my phone because I’m not home. I had gotten back from my father’s party last Tuesday. I am back in Oregon again as of Monday this week. Continue reading
Dad’s birthday
My father turned 90 on June 25th, but he had a big bash on the 24th. I had known about this in advance, of course, but I was having trouble finding tickets I could afford. Dad helped me get there for which I am grateful. Here are some pics from my trip… Continue reading
CTA cruise
When Mark and I were still working at Wagon Trail Campground, our boss sent the whole staff to get training to be a Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA). One of the perks of being a CTA is that once a year, there is a free special event that we are invited to so that we can tell visitors about it and maybe peak their interest in doing it. This year it was a cruise to Plum Island. Continue reading
Family visit
I saw Jamey and Sage off this afternoon, so now there’s time to reflect on their visit… Continue reading
