We've Settled in the Sunshine - Mike & Janet - August 2021


What a Screwy Month!?!

We started out August 1st headed for Oregon in our Mustang convertible

(We called it our topless trip)  It was slated to be a month long trip to Oregon, visit for a while, then down the Oregon coast and on down the California coast, then back to Yuma!  We were making the trip with Mike’s sister and her husband!

Great plan!

Once we hit Oregon, we stopped at The Lake of the Woods for a visit with the Hogue’s.
We stayed with Rick and Judy and also enjoyed a visit with Neil and Leslie too.



Lots of smoke in southern Oregon…  the fires rage on
So sad….

 More highway smoke….

 

Near Klamath Falls…


Colby is heading off to college.
Such an exciting time in his life.


Went to a Portland Timbers Soccer game with Marc & Maria.
What fun…..just like the old days.

Great game…  The timbers won!!


She says she won’t, but I know Anna is going to miss Ben.
Ben heads off to Montana State.


Sweet 16…. Anna will be heading off to college in just a few years.


Brandon & Karen’s dogs LOVE their neighbors!
(They know where the treats come from)


The St. John’s bridge….. a Portland iconic landmark. 

AND THEN GUESS WHAT HIT THE FAN!?! 

Mike’s sister called us to say she had come down with Covid-19.
We had spent some time with her just a few days before, so we thought
we should test ourselves. 

I was negative but Mike tested positive.
Now what should we do?
We were just ½ way into our trip.

We went to Mike’s other sister’s.

They were exposed the same time as us.
They were both negative.

We had no choice…….

We headed south to Yuma.

Mike was not sick, just a cough.  He was vaccinated.
I remained negative. 

Two very long days of driving and we were home in Yuma.

Several Covid tests and two weeks later, Mike’s sister who tested positive in Oregon,
and who was very, very sick, finally tested negative.  Hooray!

Mike & I have been pretty much quarantined here at home.
But it has been 17 days, so he is not contagious any more.

How crazy?

The humming birds are loving having us home!

Things are quiet here in Yuma….not too many people here.

 

Life is good!
