Lots behind us today.....
We viewed two homes we were interested in with realtor daughter in law Jenn.....one was a very nice townhouse....the other a big house.....
We also went to the area on the Willamette River south of downtown Portland called John's Landing.....nothing popped up that excited us..we also went to a quaint but dated community south called Charbonneau...and spotted a couple of possibilities to follow up on.
While in south Portland on the river, we went to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to see if we could get Linda an appointment with the leading lung cancer specialist....we had visited a year ago and found that a transition to OHSU would be "seamless" but were unable to visit with Dr. Alan Sandler as he was not certified in Oregon yet at that time.....now he is....
Everyone in the Knight Cancer Institute at OHSU was very friendly and helpful...all raved about Dr. Sandler....and we await word from Dr. Sandler...we got to see the infusion room which has a great view from the 7th floor of the river....so we are counting on Linda's chemo in two and a half weeks being at OHSU....
Tomorrow we are going to "take a day off"..ie Linda is doing the laundry at daughter Janine's while she is teaching...Linda is napping between loads...Dave is going to replace the "flapper" and all in Janine's toilet as well as powerwash her driveway...all still counts as a "day off".

All sounds positive. I rather like quaint so maybe it will grow on you. Townhouses mean stairs to me and my knees started protesting that years ago. I found a house I loved but I didn't see that configuration in my present, much less my future. I did like the idea of using the top floor for storage but I couldn't get TravelGuy to see the beauty in the idea. ;)

Linda, you look great! Take a rest from that house hunting. I am sure you will find the perfect one for you. Looks like you also found a great doc. Things are falling into place.

Hope the two of you had a good "day off" yesterday. I thought I'd better make a post as you won't hear from us for a couple of weeks since we'll be in Egypt... will be thinking of you often though. :)
Have a great weekend, and Linda, have a lovely Mother's Day!!!
Love,
Jim and Swee
Love the photo of Linda at OHSU, looking good.
Welcome back to 'the valley'.
Glad all of the multiple moves/sales/packing are behind you. There is the ideal place waiting for you guys. It just takes a bit to find it.
