Hey there! How is everyone? Prayers that all is well. We have been seeing
the sights in No. Oregon & like Utah, the whole area should be a Nat'l Park.
We spent a day on the coast & able to see the Pacific for the first time! Ever
so pretty. Walked the beach & they were having a kite festival so the photos
are fun. Waterfalls, caves, huge rocks, all so neat. We spotted a gray whale
at one of the overlooks & fun to see him "blow".
We have really enjoyed the Columbia River Gorge & all the history & beauty.
Multnomah Falls was a high light but there were a lot of falls along the
historic route. We spent another day up at Mt Hood. I can't believe we have
had such gorgeous weather & have seen all the "tops". Just keep snapping !!
We are at a Campground just up the road from the Portland Airport. My aunt
Dorothy has passed & I fly out Fri am to Mpls for the funeral on Sat. Mike is
staying w/ the rig & Purdie. Really really a tough one for me, but am so
thankful we were near an airport & I could go back. One of those "need-tos".
We plan to head to Grant's Pass, OR when I get back. Giving the Napa area
a chance to settle down before we head that way on Sept 12. Is still a go as
most of the area is ok. Pray the aftershocks are not too bad & so thankful
that no one was killed.
We have been so blessed on this trip, big things & so so many little things.
The Lord is so good !! The church here in Portland was really a blessing too
Will post when I get back. Pray for the family as we all travel. Will get to
see my Mom too.
Love & Blessings, Mike & Dee:)
