This last week has been full of having contractors in to look at fixing up our house, trying to get a little more settled into our home, and meeting the neighbors. We had our first company over on Tuesday evening, the couple that helped me when I hurt my ankle last spring. Yesterday, Mark went to his first BACA meeting in Price. He got to meet his new BACA brothers and sisters and go on a Level 1, a meet and greet for a hero (child survivor of abuse), and one of the heroes asked to ride with him on his bike. He had a fun time! And then we left our new home to come up to Oregon. Tonight, we are in Baker City, OR, on our way to see our mothers.

We arrived at our new home late in the afternoon on Monday. I had been looking forward to sunshine because it was such a wet summer in Door County, but we arrived in heavy rain and a thunderstorm that we could see all around us in the mountains.

Last time I wrote, we had just arrived home in Door County. Then Jamey’s server went down, and so did my blog. Jamey got it back up (sort of) just in time for me to tell you that we have left Door County for the last time as residents. I’m warning you, this is an extra long blog to catch up on, so read it when you sit down to have your coffee, or whenever you have a spare hour during your day!

I thought I was going to have another bad report this evening because we had to turn off the highway again after only one and a half hours of driving, but something good happened. I’ll get to that later in the post.

Wind, wind, go away. Come again some other day! The highway is still closed to broad vehicles under 20,000 lbs, so this morning, Mark had to go in and pay for another night here at KOA.

Today was a day of ups and downs, meaning that we went through a lot of mountains and hills, not the least of which was Cabbage Hill as soon as we left Pendleton. Mark was amazed that we climbed it at 40 mph today! Usually, he says, we can only go 30 or 35 mph. He doesn’t know what made the difference today.
