Hi Sher & Rich,

I need to apoligize again for only giving you an hour notice when I drove through Oregon in July. I had a super time in Washington, I got to meet worth (air family member), she only lives about 5 miles from my old home at Mason Lake. She is a very nice lady and seems to be a very quick study as far as dealing with this disease and understanding the medical terminology, she is a great asset to our board.

I did make some calls to Joy Noel and Kathy in Tacoma but didn't make any contact with them and I forgot to get Walts email address (sorry Walt --Next time) I didn't think about taking a list of people to see on the way i.e= Nevada, Utah and Idaho so maybe next time I will do that.

When I was in Olympia staying with my son, we discovered that 15 miles out of town there is a Indian Casino that has the BEST seafood buffet that I have eaten at, so needless to say I reaquired my lost appetite and stuffed myself, once wasn't enough, we went a total of 5 times in 3 weeks, I did gain back about 6 pounds (it was worth it), but I am working at losing it again.

I was going to call you on my way back through, but you were right in the middle of starting your move and the heat was around 90-95 (miserable) so I decided to go over to Eastern Washington and visit my wifes cousin, he has a winery (Goose-Ridge Winery) and I have not had the time to go see him---so I thought I would do that. I was suprised at how big and beautiful it is---and the wine is good.

I feel O.K. health wise, just loosing alittle ground but nothing that is slowing me down yet. I think I am just taking a little mental break and stick my head in the sand for a while, I think its called "denial." It feels good just to ignore this disease for a little bit, it gives me a break from the stress.

It sounds like you are in a very nice place, being so close to the girls and G'-kids? How far are you from the Columbia River Bridge or the 205? Hope everything is O.K. with both you and Rich, that moving is hard work!! The End
