Housework Day

Okay, no matter how small your space, you still need to do housework so today is that day. I have never had to do laundry when traveling because Linda lives to do laundry. Even in Mexico in May she was doing laundry. Penticton in August, doing laundry. All inclusive in Mexico, still found laundry. I, on the other hand, do not like doing laundry but set me up with ironing and I am happy, happy, happy. I also realize that sweeping should be done AFTER I change the bed and shake out rugs. I will know for next month when it is again cleaning day - yes, next month. I am on a permanent vacation so I don't want to overdue this cleaning thing. Besides, things wear out if you clean them too much!

The weather is perfect. I am in southern Oregon and the sun has been shining for a couple of days. What a difference when I can pull up the blinds, open the windows and let the outside in. I am not doing another thing today but enjoy the sun, the beer and a good book.

Some of the best things about traveling in the USA are:

1. Lots of rest areas on the freeway and some even offer free coffee. Various groups get a few days per year to man the small building and set up with coffee (and sometimes homemade cookies) and raise money for their porganization. Great idea since casino nights are no longer options for non profit groups. The rest areas are very clean, lots of parking and safe. I love to park between the big rigs and feel like a trucker.

2. The outdoor malls have walkways between the isles of parking. This keeps people from walking behind cars which is a real problem in Richmond. Short Asians.

3. The highways and exits are clearly marked and since the exit number corresponds to the mileage I know how far it is to the exit that I am looking for. Brilliant.

4. The drivers are great. No tailgating, no speeding, no swerving in and out of traffic, AND NO 7 DWARFS BLOCKING THE BACK WINDOW.

That's it for now. Those beers aren't going to drink themselves!!!

Love to all
