We have been busy putting stuff in the camper so it is ready for the trip to Seattle next Tuesday for a doctor appointment. The cargo trailer is empty now and will be for sale soon since Bob ordered a larger one so we can put the Tracker in it if we want to. We can also just tow the Tracker behind the truck which is what we will do on the Seattle trip since we will need a way to get to the hospital and be able to park in the underground parking facility. The truck/camper certainly wouldn’t fit! Have a reservation at Lake Pleasant RV Park and look forward to seeing friends there.

Jim, Marci, Cassie and their friend Sarah will be here later today for the week-end. Their first time in Cove in almost 2 years!!! I have food and drink ready for a great time… It was fun planning the meals and cooking once again.

We now have a new garage door opener on the big door of the shop and the propane stove in the shop is fixed and ready for winter. Lots of things to do here at home!!! It’s been fun though.

Today is our son’s birthday (Friday the 13th!) and it is 13 weeks since transplant… which was on a Friday the 13th!

I actually weeded a small flower bed this morning and it was difficult but felt good to do it. Bob has been busy fixing faucets, rain gutters, etc. Lots of things to do but so nice to be back here. I am really enjoying my kitchen and being able to cook since that is one of the things I really missed when I was so sick.

We finally made the decision and are trading the Arctic Fox 5th wheel for an Arctic Fox truck camper (the 1140 model). It was really a hard choice but decided this was our best option for now. We want to be able to tow the Tracker or a cargo trailer and you just can’t do that with a travel trailer or 5th wheel… Looking forward to doing some REAL camping in the wilds!

It has been hot for the past week, in the low to mid 90’s, so we tend to move indoors in the afternoons since we have air conditioning. Even the dog wants in when it gets hot….

I’ve visited with my primary care doctor in La Grande and my pulmonologist in Walla Walla and continue to get weekly blood draw at the hospital here so the folks at UW can monitor my meds. So far, so good!!!!
