Now.........for some even bigger news. It saddens me to leave behind a partnership with my BFF Cori, but I have decided to go back on the truck with Craig. I leave Cori with a full inventory of products which we amassed over the past year, and plenty of orders for dress forms to keep her busy for some time. Of course you know I'll be visiting there every few months as I did in the past, and will be assisting with creative ideas and a pair of hands willing to get dirty to work on a few projects.
Many reasons prompted the decision to go back on the truck, but the main one was Craig and I missing being with each other everyday. Also, with being on the truck, it is an easy drop off and pick up in Modesto anytime I need to be there for my Mother during her recovery. Additionally, when Craig was dropped off in Modesto for his vacation, Roy informed him that his son in law was back in town and was going to team back up with him, hence leaving Craig back as a solo driver. Trust me when I say this, Craig was not the least bit disappointed. All in all I think it is a win/win situation for everyone concerned.
The plan is for me to drive our pickup back up to Washington, shortly after the Labor Day weekend, with a short stop in Walla Walla, and then onto Usk to check on our house and collect our mail. Then Craig will ask for a run through Spokane where I will hop back onto the truck with my belongings and once again, report back to you through the blog, with our adventures out on the road and my perceptions of life viewed from the passenger seat. I can't wait!

I would consider this progress. Although you and Cori have made some beautiful articles, and can presumably do so again.
Really liked your accounts and photos from the road.
Good luck out there anew.

I am sorry about your Mom...surgery and any age and for any reason is no fun. I will be straight forward I liked the blog best when you were on the road with Craig. I have not checked in for a while so I am glad I did today to hear all about the changes in your lives. As the others have said I think you two work pretty well together. The only team is you and Craig. Good to have you back.
