Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

As we headed toward Lake Shasta this morning, we could see the smoke from all the wildfires. I was hoping it would be gone by now. We are now driving in smoke, probably all the way home. The fresh, cool air was nice while it lasted.



We had a fast, fun lunch visit with Winnie in La Pine, OR yesterday shortly after we left my brother's house. She is such a lively friend--plays golf, lots of card and domino games and volunteers endlessly. She is never bored. Rhubarb is growing plentifully in her yard so she gave Gary enough for a real treat when we get home. Notice I figured out how to use the timer on our camera!
















This huge bug landed on our windshield as Gary pulled over to let trucks pass. It stayed on for quite awhile. We have no clue what kind of bug it is, but it is an Oregon Bug.









Finally Mt. Shasta greeted us as we neared Weed to spend the night. Today is the last day of our trip and this is the last blog of this trip. The massive laundry attack will soon begin, but it still will be good to be home.

At least you could see Mt Shasta! The smoke was so bad last week I couldn't see any of the hills by me that are much closer. ;) Glad you'll be home soon!
