August 31-Sept 28

It's been a wild month! We started off with temperatures in the 90's. Combine that with wind which stoked several horrific wildfires. September 10th was declared an evacuation level 2 at our home base so we decided to evacuate. Randy and I scoped out possible sites in Gresham, since the the official evac sites were much less convenient for us. We ended up at Mt Hood Community College where we boondocked for three nights. Good security, porta potties and donated supplies for those who needed it. While we experienced some inconvenience it doesn't compare to the many people who have lost their homes and businesses.
We got some much needed rain then the weather cleared just in time for a socially distanced birthday celebration for MIL Sharon, Kyle, Kuma and me. We also celebrated FIL Larry and sister Marcia's birthdays which are in November, since we don't anticipate indoor gatherings at that time.
There haven't been any covid-19 cases within our pickleball group so Randy and I have broken up our Pandemic Partnership and are now partnering with other players. 😊
Today we head to the North Oregon Coast for a week at Fort Stevens State Park followed by two more weeks at Seaside.Читать далее
