1700 miles round trip

The final leg of our road trip was an easy drive from Portland yesterday, thanks to our friends Estelle and Bill, who hosted us with such warmth and generosity on Saturday at their home in Lake Oswego.  It was a great way to finish a nice vacation.

Thank you for the delicious food and comfy night's sleep, and especially the great dinner conversation.  We've sorted out the country's problems for the time being! And we look forward to seeing you in Seattle in November. 

The season changed from summer to fall in the week were were gone. It rained heavily once or twice  and there's a chill in the air.  We were home in time to watch the Seahawk game yesterday afternoon (oh, boy) and I pulled some chili out of the freezer for dinner.  Home sweet home.
