Out of order, but totally tired, so will just post these anyway. This is our back yard in the Coos Bay house. We'll miss the green.
Pat did a lot of work land scaping and maintaining the place
Natural trees, Rhody's and Huckleberries. We kept it clean but it was all native plants growing.
We originally have a big wooden deck, but after 20 years it rotted away, so we replaced it with the bricks and rocks.
Bad wreck on Hwy 46. One Hwy Patrol car involved, a big truck and a few other cars.
Slowed down traffic for awhile
Debris all over the road
CHIP car on the trailer
I couldn't stop, just snapped a few shots going by
Sunrise coming up just West of Barstow, CA.
I discovered the U-Haul was governed. Anything this and it would shut down. First time I happened I thought something was wrong, but soon figured out it just didn't want to go any faster. We were a little over 28K pounds gross with the truck and trailer.
Cactus fruit is about ripe. Time to make some jelly! This is in the Kingman place we sometimes stay in.
Alreadyt unloaded the trailer and turned it in. Leaving the truck here until morning
Skid's favorite baby tree. He left some DNA on it a couple of times :-)
All put away for the night
Don't know why this pictures are together. The entry way to the new house
Ooops, here's the entry way
A Bistro set which we'll buy from the lady that's moving, and a shake charmer basket
The blog is acting weird, pictures out of order, and smaller than usual. Oh Well, I'm not going to change it. This is in front of the house just before I was ready to pull out on Monday evening.
We hired help to put the stuff in the truck. Pat and I packed it all. She did most of the work.
It was a big job
We'll miss our little house. It's been a good place to live
Had to fill the hole where the bike lift was in the garage. I'm leavin some things in here, but took out a LOT
Dining room and kitchen looks empty. Because they are
Living room almost ready. Leaving all the window coverings
The pellet stove kept us warm for many years
The bedroom/office. All furniture is gone, put this camping table up for the computer until we leave
The bedroom looks different
My bathroom with the skylight Pat has instaled
Ready to head out of town. Around 4:30 PM on Monday the 8th
Maybe a repeat
We'll live in the Minnie when I get back. Will ride a Greyhound bus home
Ed and I went out for dinner. He had Prime Rib and I had a small steak.
I don't even know the name of this place, but the food was good.
The next morning, We all three went to Patrick's for breakfast. They still have 30 cent coffee. It's not ver strong, but the food is fine. And very resonable. Ed and Carl both had 2 huge pancakes for a buck and a half, and the 30 cent coffee. Since I had a big day of unloading ahead, I needed something besides pancakes :-)
This shot is for Skid and Sandy. The Yogurt shop/Wi'Fi center in Kingman. Had my card stamped every day, will collect two free ones next time. Since I combined Skid's visits with mine.
This is a nice South West style oil, sort of 3 dimential. It's in the new house. I liked it so much, I talked the lady into selling it to us. It's in a hall way.
My bag and "Blondy Pillow" on the floor of the Las Angeles Bus depot. I spent 4 hours there today. Late bus, no seats left to sit on. Stood up and people watched.
The rest are shots of the depot. Mostly foreign speaking folks.
Greyhound doesn't guarentee you a seat, no matter how early you buy a ticket. And no reserved seating. First come, first to board. And, it's you're in the rest room or the Deli, or the battery charging station, or outside smoking, you probably won't get a seat. Been on 3 busses so far today, and every one had every seat taken, and people left behind for the next bus.
People are tired and grumpy.
The heavy lady had been waiting 6 hours, and had bought tickets over a week in advance. They had a Greyhound security guy going around checking out tickets and anyone that had been there 4 hours or more got a voucher for some food in the walk-up deli. I was about to qualify just as the bus came in. Guess I'll have a snack in Bakersfield, I think we have 30 minutes there.
Last shot of the anxiously waiting people in the LA Greyhound Station.
