We were in Bend, Oregon this past weekend for the last of Julie’s work for reconstruction (Do I hear a Halleluiah?) and it was a year and two days since her first surgery. She was just amazed that it was finally over and that she will not need to see the Doc for a year.
We stayed with our friends Steve & Carolyn because our house is rented out until May and we enjoyed their company and a celebration of Carolyn’s birthday on Monday. It was bitterly cold and ranged only between zero and plus 8 degrees Fahrenheit for the last three days there. On our drive back to the coast yesterday it was -13 degrees F as we passed through Sisters, Oregon and just plain cold the entire way. Of course I am not complaining because we were in a nice warm 4 X 4 Suburban, with studded snow tires and did not need to get out of the truck for anything. It was just a very slow trip. From Eugene all of the way through the Coast Range it was ice on the road and even at the beach there is still snow on the ground.
This is very unusual for the coast because we only see snow every few years and it does not stay on the ground for several days as we are experiencing now. This weather has prompted me to begin packing in earnest for the trip to Mexico even through it is a month away. We do not want to forget our favorite pair of sandals. It will be good to not be cold!
