We have arrived in Salem, Oregon where Grandma Annabel Smith lives. We are parked at Ed and Marsha's place (Tim's sister) and they have such a beautiful acreage we just might stay for "a while." Grandma has waited patiently for weeks for us to get here and the kids are very excited not to have to set up and pack up every day.

Ryan, Amy, Emma, and Tyler joined us at Ed and Marsha's with Grandma for a bountiful spread of fresh fruit and garden produce as well as one more cedar smoked salmon. We are already planning sleep overs with the cousins, a trip to help Ben, Katie, and Lily move to Medford, and countless hours with Grandma just hanging out! Of course there are numerous bits of maintenance that must be done to help hold our little house together after its first couple thousand miles of expedition as well. We will not lack for things to do.
