Our plan was to leave home at 8:00 AM but we made it out at 8:30 AM. Pretty good for us. The station wagon is packed to the gills. I even have a tote bag under my legs. It actually felt good, like a lazy boy. I think cars should offer the option to elevate the legs. So, now I am sitting here unable to move and I add a beach towel and Merlin to my lap. He is actually such a comfort. He loves to ride in the car and usually sleeps when we are under way. Merlin
& I get our stretch breaks every 2 hours or so. It is very overcast and raining off & on. I really prefer it to bright sunshine when we have to drive a long way. The traffic is a piece of cake. Fred has the cruise on 65-75 most of the way (with a close eye for the highway patrol). We stopped in Ashland, OR to visit with our friend, Diane. Her husband, and our dear friend, Steve died in December of 2007. We haven't seen her since then. We tried to come to the memorial service back then but we got stuck in Klamath Falls by a blizzard. Diane has a pizza ready for us and Steve there too. You'd have to know Diane, but Steve was cremated and his remains placed in his football. She keeps him there on his favorite rocking chair with a can of Sharp's beer. It was actually kinda niceto finally get to say goodbye to someone who died much too young. After a lovely visit we continued on to Roseburg, OR for the night.
