Wonderful trip, but good to get home! :) Lots of pics!

I had a wonderful week and a half trip but I was ready for home when it was time to leave! Confirmation that I'm where I'm supposed to be! There was a LOT of traveling; the rental car got 1,000 miles put on it! I did get to see ALL of my family along the way so that was awesome!! Saw more of my granddaughters then I expected so that was super awesome! :) And the best part? Convention!!! Got Saturday and Sunday. Maybe I should make that a new tradition? Going to Boring 2 for the weekend and see family the next week...

My dad is doing okay. He's not super happy to be in a foster care home but that's the level of care needed now. They do allow him to go on the bus still so that's good. Diet and aspiration pneumonia are the biggest things now. My brothers and their families are doing okay as well. Both their families and my dad are in Klamath Falls now. My sister has health issues but is holding in there. She's in Grants Pass. Also got to see a dear friend when I went through Grants Pass for breakfast. That was a pretty drive when I went from Klamath to Grants Pass. Left Klamath at 5 am so got to see the sunrise as I was coming down the hill into Medford.  Made for a long day though! Didn't get to where I was staying until 7 pm! Granddaughters are doing well. I got to see Teagan do her gymnastics class! She's a lot more flexible then I ever was and is doing really well in gymnastics.

And then I got to make it a partial business trip because I actually met with one of the few clients I still have left! And got my Bowenworks treatment. My body responds super well to Bowenworks. Much better then chiropractic etc. I sure do wish that there was someone near me that did it! There's only three in all of Idaho and no one is closer then 3 or so hours. :( I'd almost have to take a Friday off and stay for the weekend so the treatment wasn't ruined in the drive back home. One near Boise so maybe???  Anyone want to learn Bowenworks? The lady that treats me in Portland is willing to teach! :)

Got home to a garden with lots of beans and tomatoes. It was nice here the whole time I was gone so it did quite well! (Rained off and on in Portland). Kitties were so happy to see me. Sometimes they'll ignore me because they are too happy but not this time!!

And then back to work the next day! Everything went smoothly when I was gone so was very thankful for that!! I'm very, very thankful for a job that fits my skill set so perfectly and has lots of room to grow and learn knew things! Harvest time is upon use so things have been hopping! Last Saturday we had quite the wind/dust storm. First time I've ever seen the blinking lights on for tuning in for weather issues. It was an interesting drive from Twin Falls to Rupert. Lots and lots and lots of dust. One area was pretty bad but the rest was more a mid level fog thickness. Could more or less see but needed lights on. Wind would be on par to what we had in Gresham with the East winds, but with harvest going on everywhere and lots and lots and lots of loose soil it really stirs up the dust!

Not the greatest lighting but Christina, me, Aunt Nancy

Teagan practicing her bridge. She started standing and then bent backwards to this position.

My dad! :)

Scarlet is picking up pine cones. Great grandma pays them a penny a pine cone!

Scarlet is counting her stash! And this is Henry, Bobbies 'new' golden retriever. She's had him a while but it's the first time I've seen him.

Teagan is gathering her stash of pine cones!

Henry... Hey I'm here!!

Trying to get a group picture! 😂

Back to wide open spaces and a gorgeous sunset on the way home.

Ignore the bugs on the windshield! What you see beyond that is a dust storm. The wind was whipping around pretty good. Probably equivalent to the east winds in Gresham but lots and lots of dust! 

The day after the windstorm was crystal clear!

You'd think that that door hadn't been open in a long time the way they ran to it when it was opened!! :)
