Going West Again

The sale of the homestead progresses well; got the inspection behind us so now just need the appraisal and we'll be in the home stretch, so to speak.

Looks like to go west we must first go east.  We said goodbye to the grand kids and their support unit and tomorrow we head out for Savannah.    We're meeting Jack and Sue Washburne for a few days at the beach.  A lot of relaxing is planned.

Then it will be a dash to Boise.  Well, not exactly a dash, but faster travel than we are used to.  It will be interesting trying to pick the best route around the weather.  We'd like to get onto Interstate 80 at Lincoln and try to get through Wyoming without being buried in the snow or blown off the road.

After visiting with John and Mary Ossowski at their new estate, we'll head for Redmond for some serious house hunting.  That is if things are still going well with the sale of the homestead.  There will be time for visiting with the Teague's (both the Redmond and Alaska branches) and perhaps yet another tour of the Deschutes brewery.

If all goes well we'll be in Portland by the end of the month for my first Timbers game of the season.

Stay tuned, it should be interesting.

Here's to an early spring.
