Curt and I were 'Artists in Residence' at Art Works Gallery. I was working on faux stained glass.
Curt's daughter phoned and stated that she wanted to move to Oregon. We spent the next two weeks emptying one room in our house for her.
Curt and I traveled to Texas to get her. Since we were in the neighborhood, we went to Shreveport, Louisiana, to visit friends and see our old house.
I still needed to book Canada and more.
We logged 5061 miles in 12 days.
When we returned home, we began adjusting to having four dogs, a cat, and three adults in a 783-square-foot house.
We were excited to get back to the art gallery and get everything ready for holiday sales.
The owner surprised us,
"I sold the business while you were gone, and you have two weeks to get everything out."
We had to stop everything we were working on and pack it up. It was tough to find a place to rent.
,
Luckily something opened up. It took two weeks to everything out.
We had to be prepared for temperatures from 95'F in Los Angeles to snow in Chicago.
Layers, layers, layers.
Curt bought us the best gift ever
Heated Vests.

We live in a tiny, remote town at the base of the Cascade Mountains.
We love being outdoors, so we chose to live here, but we barely left Oregon in six years.

On January 2, 2022. I finished and signed this mural of Jerry.
I was on top of the world. I had plans.
Within the next two weeks, shingles blazed across my face.
It is all history.
In January 2023, Curt's mom called and stated that we would be at the Thanksgiving dinner table in Indiana. We live in Oregon.
I had not seen my sister in seven years, and this friend and that was on our list. Before we knew it, we had compiled an Amtrak journey around the country.
I would take the same trip again, but I would add New Haven, Connecticut, for real white clam pizza.
