Bruce I had hoped to surprise you in Portland and now I don't think it will happen. I'm very, very sorry.
Why?
Well, for starters Keith is not going to be able to get a break from the yard work. The falling leaves must be removed before it snows and we have already had too many rainy days making it more difficult for him to keep up. I can't drive that far.
I looked to see if there are any reasonably priced flights I can take. I found some possibilities and then realized I can't book anything until I know the new medication doesn't make me sick. If it does I might not be able to handle it on top of my usual air sickness. So it is wait & see.
Craig may be coming home about then, along with his dog and cat. He is on the move again in search of a job. He wants to base here for awhile & check out his options on the west coast. If he can't find something he will return to school, which he truly doesn't want to do, for another degree.
