I'm beginning to feel like I'm becoming an Oregonian in many way but surely not politically! We've been in Oregon that long and will be now for another 10 days or so, I don't mind the cool temps but not waking up to sunshine each morning is kind of a bummer!
We're in Coos Bay earlier than expected, the coach goes into the shop on the 6th of August for the new flooring and water leak repairs and some new furniture. We're here early to not only make all the arrangements for the coach but to get all secure so we can make a trip in the car back to Sacramento for a few days. We got news of my cousin Rich Papers wife, Lynn passing away and a service will be on August 5th. Lynn was a great person with a contagious smile and we only wish we'd met her a lot sooner and got to know her much better. It had been way too many years between visits to our family in the Sacramento area, where I lived and hung out with these guys so many years ago. For the past 5 years of so we have been making it a stop during our travels anytime these travels take us near the western United States. We send Rich and his family our deepest sympathy and will miss Lynn and her hospitality shown us on our future visits, she will be missed by so many for sure.
Yesterday we picked out the new couch recliners for the motor home, theater seating type setup, and will pick out another chair for just inside the doorway today or tomorrow. We do look forward to all this work being done so we can get back to traveling.......... we like Oregon but it's time to move on even though we'll miss the cool temps we've so enjoyed.
Checking out a 9 hole golf course today, Sunset Bay golf course which was designed by the same designer, John Zoller, who designed Poppy Hills and Spyglass in the Monterey area. Two par 5's, five par 4's and two par 3's and 3000 yards sounds like a nice challenge. www.sunsetbaygolf.com We visited Poppy Hills a couple of years ago, super nice track..........so beautiful and I'm hoping this place is just a bit as nice! You know I will have pics on FB sometime after the round of golf so be on the lookout for those.
I'm not impressed with the bulk of the movies in theaters right now and the past few weeks. We do patronize theaters wherever we stop and are having a hard time finding those real good movies not like "apes" or "transformers" or superhero's"..............even though that new Spider movie wasn't too bad and we hear Wonder Woman is pretty good, my find out tonight.
Not many blogs and not many exciting things on this trip, staying for extended times at stops rather that traveling every day or two make for a much different journey. The gas usage is way way down and that cost is a welcomed change, but at times I think we miss rolling down the road.
