Whoops

As usual I managed to hit some key that posted my blog before I finished. Arrrgghh!!!!!

Saturday was the big wedding day.  The wedding was held at the Evergreen Museum, about a 40 minute drive from Salem.  It is the home of the Spruce Goose, an experimental cargo plane made of birch by Howard Hughes.  The one and only flight was 11/3/47 the day I was born.  The ceremony was held under the tail and the reception under one of the wings.  Stacy, my son, came down from Chewelah, Wa. (look at the map) it is north of Spokane Wa halfway to Canada.  It was a big surprise for his 3 sisters, all four kids have not been together for about 8 years.  It was hard to keep from spilling the beans that he was coming down (about a 8 hr drive).  The bride and groom looked very handsome and beautiful, you could see the love they share for each other in their eyes. 

Sunday, our last day in Salem, we started the day going out to breakfast with Micah,( Chris had to work) and Stacy.   Sven, Gary's biking buddy came by, followed by Leah, et.all, Talena, Kurt and Ethan, Larry and Nancy, who own the bike shop, Chris, Micah, Alyssa, and Charlotte came by in the evening.  We had a delightful visit with everyone who came by this week.  We need to be at the DMV by 8am in the morning to get the new coach licensed then hit the road we would like to make it to Redding, Ca tomorrow night.

It's been a fun week but our wonderlust calls.
