Finding my way in Portland


Ok lets just say I am lost. I have lived by whole life in So. Cal and Orange County (HB) for over 45 years. So I just always have known my way around sorta kinda. Now I am very confused. I have never known so many streets by Numbers not just Numbers but SW, SE, NW, NE very confusing. At first I was using Frogs GPS. By the way this little device is worth it's weight in Gold. I thought I should not depend on it ( mainly because it is not mine) as I need to learn my way. So I was getting pretty good and thought wow I think I have got it. WRONG. The other night after work I went to get Jenn and take her to buy a bike. I took a new way home and got so lost on the wrong side of the river and no bridge to the other side. Anyway a 20 min drive home took 2.5 hours and I was almost in tears. It is a adventure to say the least. I think getting lost is fun unless I am very tired or need to be somewhere. I will find my way and I know this is a lesson of something for sure, just what I am not sure, focus, patience, direction, or just life.
Until next time
Peace and love

Home in Beaverton {Portland}

Well we made it. My sis and I traveled through the center of California on the forth of July and arrived in Eugene (Cottage Grove to be exact) on the fifth of July to hook up with Frog. Off to Portland we all went Jenn, Joanne, Frog and me. As it turned out My boss decided he didn't need me in Seattle so I started in Hillboro ( suburb of Portland) on the 8th. One small little problem was where to stay ................we found the best little place with the train right behind (so cal type metrolink). Now what the heck Joanne has a ticket to fly out of Seattle...........Frog is driving her 3 hours in the morning and then driving 3 hours home.................Thank God. I will miss my sister when she leaves. ( I don't think she knows how much).

Well just got puter to blog so will up date soon.................
Peace and Love to all
Until next time.

Good bye California

Wow hard to believe I am really going...........after 3 days of moving and sore muscles I didn't even know I had, final touches are now happening. Joanne is packing and that is the last thing to load................ We are doing some final earns, like Joanne getting her hair done and Jenn getting her pay check. Then off we go at about 3 in the am on the fourth of July. We will go as far as Corning the first day and take a rest. Then off to meet up with Frog and on to Portland (my new home town). I am excited but sad to leave all I have ever known as HOME. We will all stay in Portland on the 5Th,6Th,7Th,8Th. This hopes to be a new and most exciting adventure of my life so far. I start work on the 8Th and travel to Seattle on the 9Th starting at my new store (temp place) on the 10Th. Don't have must time to chat must get a move on. Have a Happy Safe 4Th and may this year be one of great Independence for all.
