Neener Neener..... the plan worked perfectly this time. Craig was loaded, scaled, and headed North by 10am Monday morning. By 6pm that evening the transfer of the groceries, clean laundry, and more importantly, ME, was complete. As much as I hate saying goodbye to my Mom and Niece, it sure was nice to be in my second home again with my husband. Off we happily went, holding hands and smiling, as we headed for the Company yard for the night.
We decided to get an early start this morning, and with a fresh cup of coffee and our breakfast bar we journeyed North. We had planned it so that we would miss the crush of the Sacramento morning commute traffic and we took a break at the Casino in Corning to take advantage of their free coffee and sodas. This time, no matter how loud that slot machine was screaming at Craig to put in some money, we managed to ignore it and head back to the truck.
As soon as we crossed into Oregon the gray clouds covered
the sky, and as Craig said to me, "I think there are snow flakes out there", I looked up from my laptop, and we enjoyed seeing the first snowfall of the season. It was much more scenic in Oregon, than in the flat prairie lands of North Dakota last year. As we reached the summit of the pass the snow was much more evident along side the roadway, but this snowfall was heavy with moisture and immediately melted when it hit the ground. Coming down off the pass, the snow quickly turned to a light rain and we soldiered onward to our final destination for the day.Tonight finds us in Coburg, OR, with only 250
miles to drive tomorrow to set us up to stage for three deliveries, the first being at 2am Thursday morning. We are looking forward to watching the election returns, and knowing that at least for awhile, the barrage of political ads will finally come to an end! No matter the outcome of the election, we are hopeful for a positive change in this great Country of ours and that we will be witnessing history taking place. As far as that knock on the door? I'll be happy to open the door to Winter, at least we know what we can expect there!

The snow was short-lived here....those big, big smooshy flakes that disappeared as soon as they hit the ground. But, snow is snow and i have to record it in my weather journal even if it is a bit early.
