Thursday....July 3rd.....2008

We have been on the road for a week...first in Portland for a couple of days and then on to Seattle....Linda has been doing great...no coughing...(maybe she is out of the pollen area in Central Oregon or ?)...

First we stayed with daughter Janine and enjoyed some sun time in Portland....

Then we loaded Janine into the car and off to the Mt. St. Helens Volcanic Monument (using Linda's senior National Park card to get free into everything)....

Then to daughter Wendy's to stay...and to visit my favorite Aunt Pat (and my cousin Kathy who I hadn't seen for 40 plus years....and we had a great lunch with all).

Then to see my mom and brother Mick...with grand daughter Taigen coming with us (who fell into the fish pond and created a bit of excitement).

Today we went to the Seattle Pike Street market...which is a sight to see.

Tomorrow it's back to Portland...

Again....Miss Linda is doing very well...one wonders if she really was sick at one time...she looks so well...

I forgot to mention we saw grand daughter Jillian while in Portland..she is recovering well....

I forgot to mention grand daughter Taigen took us to a Mariners game with her mother (Wendy).and father (Chris) as a result of her participation in T ball...and the Mariners won....

Tonight we go to dinner to celebrate Chris' Master's Degree and new job as an elementary teacher....then off to home tomorrow...

Hi guys,

So glad to hear that the ordeal you guys went through seems like it never happened...that means that you are both doing so well. How nice to get back to being active and healthy!!! Just keep it going.
Love you both, Kay and John

Sounds like "really normal" is the new normal for you two. What a great comment about Linda's health!
John and I were thinking of attending the race at Mid-Ohio in July, but his son is very ill and our normal has changed for the time-being. Guess that we are done with the racing scene for 2008.

ya' know... Taigen resembles her g'father... :-)

L, you rock!! You look great and as others have said, the new normal seems to be really wonderful and healthy and filled to the brim with life and love. Richly deserved. And remaining focused on the positive and good only increases it, huh?

enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!! And know you'll always be wrapped in a golden glow of health and love.
