Hello from Oregon!

We arrived safe and sound, the room has secure hi-speed net access, niece checked in and cats are fine, we walked over to a little restaurant and had some iced tea, I've recovered my password for this blog, I'm doing better typing on this laptop ... so all is right with the world. HA!

We left later than expected, but still got out of town in one piece. The drive up the valley was HOT (thermometer read 104 - 106) and I was thankful for our wonderful a/c in the car.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

We stopped in Weed, CA for a light supper at Silva's. We chose a table in the backroom where we could enjoy the view of Mt. Shasta while we dined. As I sat there sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee, I noticed that the clouds were so low that they seemed to kiss the top of the mountain as they drifted across the top.

Gradually one cloud bumped into another and soon the small clouds had formed a large cloud. It was as though an invisible magnet had drawn them all to the same place. Soon the cloud grew large enough to cast a shadow on the top of the mountain, while the lower portion remained in the sun. The sight was absolutely breathtaking! The bottom of the cloud formation became dark, yet the top was fluffy and bathed in sunshine. As I watched, the shape began to change and I was treated to the a wonderous sight as a lenticular cloud began to form. We couldn't stay to watch the entire show, but it sure was wonderful to see.

Back onto highway 5, where we found our exit in Medford, and here we are. I'm ready for a quick shower and then some sleep.

Tomorrow -- meeting a friend and arriving in Newport!


Psalms 104

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
