Big house, little house

Here is a comparison of our traveling house and our stationary house, in the lovely month of May with the rhododendrons obscuring most of our little home. The big house we leave behind has just been painted inside and out by Top Dawg Painting, and looks pretty spiffy. When we return, the leaves will have fallen and the days will be short. In the meantime we intend to travel and play! Karl Swanson will look after the lawn and leaves in our absence. Martina will be dropping in on Mother frequently and checking on her care. Caroline Schectman will be staying in the house, and this relieves our mind about an empty house!

We will leave for Portland next tuesday, June 3rd, and plan to spend 6 nights there attending Wendy's 35th Reed College Reunion. Perhaps she will provide more pictures and narrative about that chapter. I (Bob) will be playing disc golf with a Corvallis friend, John Ross, who is planning to camp at what is the most distinguished course in Oregon, Milo McGiver in Estacada, for 3 of those days, and I will attend Wendy's festivities one day, and we will be occupied with travel the others, as we leave immediately after the celebration to drive to Port Angeles and camp, waiting to catch the ferry in the AM to Victoria, B.C. and Helen and Bill Schuckel, my sister and bro in law.
