WHEW! It's been a long three months, and it has felt like we have climbed many mountains, and finally we have made it to the top to claim our stake in resuming our lives as we knew it pre injury. We found out a lot about ourselves and what we are capable of, we were blessed to have family that took us in and didn't want us to leave, and we reaffirmed that the decision we made in January 2006 to sell everything and hit the road was indeed the best thing we ever did.We have had a very busy three days. Craig picked up two over sized boats in Roseburg, OR and was directed to go to the yard in Spokane. I rented the car, and looking very much like the Beverly Hillbillies, minus Granny on top of the car in her rocking chair, I managed to get all of our belongings inside and drive the 1000 miles to Spokane in 16 hours. All day Saturday and most of Sunday we spent organizing the truck and making it home. We are both very happy with the room we have inside and can't wait to hit the road Tuesday morning.
Sunday, we also took a drive to our lot near Newport and got our first look at it without snow on the ground. This will be the view from our living room when we get the park model home delivered. We were able to leave instructions with the park coordinator on where we want our storage building and crushed gravel on our site. We are hoping to be able to call it home by the end of next year.
We took a short walk down to the river and I was able to capture this image. We are both looking forward to living in an area where the four seasons can fully be enjoyed.
Craig will be attending his recertification class on Monday and the body work will be preformed on the truck. When that is done, we will be starting the countdown to being back on the road again, headed to Michigan to deliver the two over sized boats. We couldn't be happier about being given this opportunity to be out on the road again and living our dream.

Craig, it is good to see your well and healthy and to see you from the the window of the truck again, and thanks to Diane for staying by your side. You both deserve each other. Diane, thanks for talking pictures of the fall colors of Washington, I was wondering how beautiful it would be. Stay safe, Take care.
Wow, we're going to be neighbors! Yippee! So, where is this park exactly? Trying to figure it out from the scenery, and failing miserably. Isn't that area just beautiful right now? The drive along the Pend Oreille River is just breathtaking. Glad to hear your trip has gone well so far, and that Craig is doing so much better. Hugs!
