Almost ready...

It sometimes seems overwhelming to think of what is left to be completed before our wheels are rolling.  We have organized and re-organized throughout the coach.  I am certain that we will continue to eliminate items (mostly mine).  I still have stores of fabric to downsize and store for a later date.  I should probably leave behind at least one of my sewing machines...NOT!

Pendleton Round-Up is next week - we have an affordable to place to stay with the motorhome - Cascade Natural Gas district office. We have tickets for Wednesday through Saturday - it should be a blast.  I will have plenty of time to shop the wide variety of sidewalk vendors and Bill can sleep while I am shopping.

In reality, Bill has five more work days before his retirement.  Wow, I am still in shock as I was thinking we still had a couple of weeks...then he discovered he lots of vacation time on the books.  The good part is now I will have some extra help coordinating and completing all things that need to happen by the end of September.

  We have spent time with the grandchildren (a week here with us).  Now to visit Jenn, Tony and my dad at the end of the month.  I hope dad's filberts (hazelnuts) are ready to harvest.  He has indicated that they will be plentiful this year - translation, he could use some help getting them picked up.

Our loving Pugs have been to the vet and all is well with their health, vaccines updated and medication refilled.  Bandit and Pearl have an appointment with their ophthalmologist - Dr. Kise at Northwest Veterinary Specialists.
Unfortunately for me I am having difficulty obtaining my six month oncology appointment.  Madigan Army Medical Center is down to two oncologists at the moment - I am on a waiting list and that is OK as those with active cancer treatment should have priority.  I'll catch up next spring or find another location for a check-up if necessary.

Three weeks and our wheels will roll across the states West to East for starters.
