Overcast...30º

Yesterdays text from Cienna, "On da road."...It was 7am and caught me a bit by surprise, so instead of sitting in my recliner, playing scrabble, writing a blog, I kicked it up a notch...We both took a morning walk, then Herb fixed us a breakfast smoothie and I mixed a small batch of bread...From there I moved onto mixing noodle dough for our turkey/noodle dinner...The rest of the morning was spent clearing clutter, dusting and vacuuming.

The girls are always good about keeping us posted, as they journey through the Columbia Gorge, stop to split a Bozo Burger in Boardman, then at Grocery Outlet in LaGrande...1:30PM, the sound of gravel in the driveway, signaled their arrival...Our house is as cleaned up as it ever gets, the smell of fresh baked bread permeates the house and egg noodles are drying on the counter...We visit away the afternoon and get settled in for the week...Rusty will arrive either today or tomorrow...Cienna filled us in on her latest adventure...She has been taking a scuba diving class in school and over the weekend, joined her classmates at Hood Canal in Washington, where they were tested and certified for recreational diving...Another water sport to add to her list.

This morning will find us at the local thrift stores, looking for bargains and shopping at Safeway for veggies...The sun is peeking through the clouds, 6:30AM...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
