vIOLET AND GRANDMA TAKING A WALK IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND. OF COURSE RANDY AND LISA AND ART ARE CLOSE BEHIND.

PORTLAND,

Sept. 4th and 5th

Hi, we stayed at Shasta Lake. The lake is down. They say it goes down 1 foot a day in the summer. the fishing in the Sacremento river is good. We heard Sarah Palins speech. WOW.
We have enjoyed the drive through the mountains. Last night we stayed at Seven Feathers RV Resort. It is brand new and attached to an Indian Casino and very upscale. When you call for the shuttle it picks you up at your RV and takes you to the casino. It seems like we're in the middle of nowhere but the casino had a lot of people. we just had dinner and came back home to watch the rest of the Republican convention. Of course MaCains' speech wasn't as riviting as Palins' but I liked it. We are taking Patience on a lot of walks which she likes. when we stepped out of our RV yesterday guess what was looking at us. Yep, that deer in the pic. She stayed long enough for me to get my camera and take a pic. we think she was watching Patience. People are just waking up here and walking there dogs while drinking a cup of coffee. Now I'm going to try to insert a few pictures. Good luck to me.

First day od RV trip, Sept.2, 2008

Hi everyone.
Our first night was spent at Santa Nella Campground. (Near Pea Soup Anderson on the I - 5 )
We were glad we had air conditioning cuz it was hot. We hunkered down early so as to settle in , eat and watch the Republican National Convention. We really liked Thompson and Liebermans speeches. In the morning we walked to Starbucks with Patience, had coffee and then played with Patience before leaving. onight wer're at Mt. shasta and plan on watching sarah Palin. we have a nice site with a view of the mountain. So far no problems except Art from America acused me of snoring. Oh well.
