Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

once again i want to thank everyone for following and commenting on our travels. it’s been fun taking you along. i wish you could be here too sharon. i remember the time we went to las vegas in the coach. that was fun. next time we can take tootsie. i remember the wash house, with it’s spiders, but not the washer. i’m sure celia remembers the spiders too. and we all remember the out house.

thanks for the news of the neighborhood kara. so sorry to hear about sascha. it was so much fun watching her follow the dogs. i worry about midas so much. linda says he’s doing fine. i wish we could get him in the house. congratulations on getting pinned.

i can’t say i want to end our trip but it will be nice to sit on the porch again. i haven’t had a long island tea since we left. (i can’t say that for beer though). we’ll be home soon jessie and dick to get one at phil trani’s. and i miss everyone.  i’m glad norm is improving. paula did a good job taking care of him. i’m anxious to see what progress rosemary has made on her yard. and to see how much remy has grown.

i hope chris and jose had a good time in las vegas.  did you all know that elizabeth was going to burning man. i’ll be anxious to hear about that. i think it’s going on next week. the nevada art museum has an exhibit on burning man we’re going to see with my brother.

can’t thank frank and linda enough for feeding midas, twice a day,  giving him treats at his command. making sure he has water. sitting on the porch with him, probably at his command also. and hannah and javier for doing all the same for zorro and keeping in touch with us.

and martha and ray, i hope you’ve had a good week in portland. i’ve missed your comments.  i want to tell you about a little detour for you to take on your way home.  the little town of dunsmuir. it’s right past weed. look it up martha. it’s the cutest little town. it’s easy off, easy on access from the 5. the one store i love is ‘unexpected treasures’. the two sisters that work there are super nice.  ray, you could go into the hardware store across the street. it has a lot of old stuff, really old stuff to look at. the ceiling is incredible.
and if your hungry, they might be b-b-qing at the thriftway market parking lot. it was the best, i tell you, it was the best ever.
please take martha there ray.  you will like it too. i promise.

we will be doing a lot of fun stuff with my brother. you won’t want to miss us pulling fortune sticks out of the can.

stay tuned
