We went up to see Dad at the nursing home. It was great to see him. I'll miss him, and so will Lulu. We'll see him again at Christmas, but that seems a long way away. We took a picture, and Lulu wanted to blow a kiss, so Grandpa will always have a picture of her blowing him a kiss.
Then we went up for another brief visit with Jan and Jenny, so Lulu and Mom could meet the birds. Jan and Mom had a good talk, and Lulu loved the birds. At first she was a bit nervous, but Jenny told her how to behave and what to expect, and after a while she relaxed and had a great time. Tiki, the white cockatoo, said, "Peekaboo!" when we arrived, and Friday, the African Grey, said, "Hello" whenever the phone rang. That cracked Lulu up, and she also loved the way they turn their heads upside down to get a really good look at you. As always, it was a great visit, and it was wonderful to see them.
Then we went home to start packing and doing all the little errands and chores you need to do before you travel. I dropped Cindy, Mom's dog, off at my brother Mike's house. I know she'll miss Mom, but Mike has three dogs, so it will be like Doggy Camp for her, and she'll have a great time.
And so will we. Oregon, here we come!

Well good grief.. don't write "The Last"
That is too sad...
I'm curious what you'll visit on the way back, though.
