Our last day in Salem, so we had us a party! Dave and Marj joined us at Ed and Marsha's for lunch with Grandma, and Ryan, Amy, Emma and Ty came later.We ate, talked, laughed, played games, and ate some more - all day!We have spent a wonderful month here with Grandma and family making many new memories and reconnecting.

Tomorrow we head south again (it is getting a little chilly here).Our first stop is in Grants Pass where we will visit Guy and Geni Shields. Guy is an old friend of mine from high school - however long ago that was. We'll be spending the night in Medford where Ben, Katie, Lilly, and PeeWee Giesbrecht now live. Ben is Tim's nephew who Ed and Marsha went to help move from Reno to Medford a couple weeks ago. We have never yet met Little Lilly, so we are more than excited to make her acquaintance.

We will miss Grandma and our family here, but we'll be back!Until then... look out California, here we come.
