Lift finally on its way Yeah!!!

I received good news this morning. My lift is finally on it's way to Oregon. I should have it next week and than just need to get it installed. We received a tracking number today so I can see were it is on it's cross country trip. It left Florida yesterday evening, it was in Atlanta this morning at 4:30 and left there this afternoon on it's way to Kansas City. It will be so nice to have that than I will be more independent.

Sarah is on her way over here from Sisters. We are going to Newport Beach tomorrow morning. Cathy and Billy will join us tomorrow evening. It isn't suppose to be good weather but it will be so nice to just get out of town. There are places that Larry loved to go to that I want to share with Sarah. Like Fish Tales Restaurant for breakfast. This old fashioned hamburger joint that has the old pinball machines. The fudge shop, the aquarium in Newport, the caramel corn shop in Depoe Bay. We are taking games and movies when we have to be inside. Larry thought the beach was great when it was stormy. I am taking his camera so Sarah and I can take pictures.

I am sure the puppies will enjoy the trip. We haven't really had a trip like this since December 2008. Larry was just too sick last year to really do much. We did make it to Melody's for Thanksgiving but that was it other than 2 day trips to the beach, one with Greg & Jennifer and the other one with Rick and Paula.

Larry's favorite thing to do was get the in the van with camera, puppies and a suitcase and take off for the weekend. Sometimes we had a destination and other times we flipped a coin as to right or left and just went. We had some great times doing that. Those are all very precious memories for me. He spoiled me because I love it now and don't want to stop.

Once I have that lift I can take off with the puppies and a camera and a suitcase and let people know if I went right or left and keep in touch so they know where I am but want to go take pictures.

I talked to Melody and told her I would love to do a daughter, mother weekend. I would even let her choose where to go. Some places I suggested were Leavenworth, Washington, Seattle, somewhere on the Oregon Coast, the redwoods in California. I forgot to mention I would love to go to Victoria, BC.

Than when I go to Tennessee there will lots of new places for the puppies and I to go see and do. I have never been in the south. I want to go see Larry's brothers in Michigan. I have never been to Washington DC either. So many places to see and visit. I am very excited about my new adventures and new life.

I will update the blog this weekend and have Sarah show me how to share pictures we take.
