Dreaming

   With the turn in the weather here in Oregon, I am dreaming of warmer climates.  Of Arizona, especially.  Several friends are down there right now.  Enjoying the warm sunshine.  I think I remember warm sunshine.  A warm day here won't happen for 6 months.
   We could be ready to go in a few days.  The rig is ready.  Not loaded with food or clothes but ready otherwise.  And it is already facing south.   The only thing that really prevents our departure is Randa's recovery which is coming along.  We have an appointment with the plastic surgeon today to check.  She will still be on light duty for 1-2 months ( limited movement, lifting, no bowling, hang gliding, pole vaulting.) the usual stuff.  I assume there will be some PT involved in the future too.
    Until then I putter around the house, doing all the house work, working on a couple of projects and volunteering.  Still going out to Hounds Rest to feed and take care of the greyhounds that are there until they are adopted, which I hope is soon.  I also am signing up with the American Red Cross to be a Blood Transportation Volunteer, either picking up blood from blood drives and taking them the  ARC office or transporting blood from the office to various hospitals in the area.  Pretty important stuff and a pretty important responsibility.

This is before the last few days of rain and wind.
