Back in warm AZ

This is the nice site where we are in Phoenix. The patio is several feet longer than the coach!

Our two granddaughters on Thanksgiving. The younger one, Bethany, is now taller than her cousin, Ceret.


We are in Phoenix at a new park. Ellen won a month here when we were in Redmond, OR at
The Rally. We have a really nice site with mail delivery to our door, something we haven't had in over twenty years!
We had Thanksgiving at our daughter's home. We haven't seen our son yet but are hoping to see him on Monday when we are going to the east side of town. We stay pretty busy while we are here with Doctors appointments, visiting family and friends and checking out our favorite places to shop. Larry is the shopper and knows his way around the area so likes to get 'things' here.

What we woke to on the morning we left
Snow on the car AGAIN!

We woke up to snow Oct 20 the day of the Potato Festival and the day we left OR. The snow was gone by the time we went through Cedar Pass in CA and we had a good trip with no problems. We are now in Pahrump, NV and it has been 'old home week' as we have seen six sets of friends that we have met in the last four years on the road. We are finally warm and it is great to be wearing shorts again! We were unable to find another trailer so I'm driving the car. Larry was able to get 9.2mpg on the motorhome and he is really happy about that. The car also did better than we expected so all is well. God always does know what is best!

BACK IN MERRILL

We are back in Merrill again preparing for our trip south. We unexpectantly sold our open car trailer so we are looking for a cheap one to use until we get to GA in March 2008 to pick up the new enclosed trailer we have ordered. Since our car is not towable I will have to drive it the 3000+ miles if we don't find a cheap replacement, but God knows best and we are sure He will guide.

We had SNOW yesterday afternoon for about 10 minutes!! It didn't stick and I tried to take pictures (see above) but all you can see are small white streaks that are really big snow flakes. We are hoping the weather will warm up again or it will be a looong three weeks before we leave!!

Sunset at Oceanside, OR So many beautiful views along the Oregon coast!


We enjoyed the FMCA Redmond convention, had an awesome time and saw God work several miracles!

We are now in Seaside, OR on the Oregon coast and have bicycled into town both days we have been here. This is one of Ellen's favorite places. We will be here another 11 days before heading to southern OR.

We are currently in the LaPine-Bend, OR area waiting to attend the FMCA convention in Redmond in mid Aug. We visited the Good Sam ‘The Rally’, also in Redmond, in July. We really like this beautiful area as there is much to do and see.
