Saying Goodbye to Cascadia

Packing up our Cascadia home base gives me ambivalent feelings. Not that I haven’t been looking forward to our life ahead and actually thinking about what we've been doing and have accomplished the last three months makes me smile.

It usually hits me when I am defrosting the freezer. Now defrosting a freezer is only a once a year job but something about it makes it a reality that we are moving out. Now moving out this time means a whole bunch of things. . . taking the trailer in to Sweet Home RV center to get work done. Now that’s a big plus . . . because we’ve been having odor problems in the bathroom and after using every product on the market Ken has decided that it must be a plugged air vent. . . now that’s one I’m glad somebody else is going to take care of. And after we ditch the trailer we are on our way to Seattle to meet Samantha Clare . . . now there’s another big plus. Then we leave Seattle to go "crabbing" at Winchester Bay . . . another plus. Then we head south to see daughter #2 and her family which means a big Grandkid Fix . . . a huge plus . . . and then fly to Battle Creek for another visit with daughter #1 and her family . . . you got it, another Grandkid Fix! So now I’m guessing my ambivalent feelings are feeling a bit more on the positive side than the negative.

Thanks for listening!

Gotta go and meet a real cutie of a baby girl.

Life is good!

Isn't it nice when saying goodbye means that you have so many other things to say hello to? I'm so glad we got to see you! What a wonderful visit! :-)
