The Beatty's have arrived

Diane & Keith
Your Editor-in-Chief has taken a well deserved vacation and I have heard of the adventure to their summer home. It sounded like they had a very long but exciting run thru the whole Midwest and up to the Northwest. I know we all wish them a wonderful summer and look forward to hearing of what their summer is like.

We had a nice trip - - if a fast one. We stopped in and visited Keith's Mom in Indiana for a few days, then on to Missouri and visited his Daughter. We left there on a Sunday and went thru the rest of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and then spent 2 days in Pendleton, Oregon before heading on West to Hwy 101.... Keith had a visit to the ER in Corvallis, Oregon because of a rash we couldn't figure out that stayed for days and kept getting worse. Turns out he got into some poison oak somewhere... We had a wet but entertaining ride down the West Coast on 101, stopping in several scenic places. We had wonderful weather - except for a little (comparatively) storm - until it got rather dreary on the last day. (But that is the Oregone Coast for you!!LOL) As far as gas prices.... the highest was Florida and Oregon - lowest was in Wyoming....

We made it to our summer home on Friday, got unpacked and were immediately welcomed by friends and neighbors! We had an enjoyable evening and got to work on Saturday...

We've been busy getting our lawn furniture out and deciding on what "Projects" we are going to work on this summer. Planted a few flowers and bought some veggies to put out....

We are glad to be out of the car but look forward to

seeing everyone in the fall!
Hope you enjoy your summer and we are thinking of you.
