Go with the flow

Short post.  We've been busy running errands here in Portland, actually we are camped in Troutdale, a small town to the east of Portland but close.  It's been a funny year so far, no fresh veggies!  We have seen tons, and I mean tons of berry stands, blue, black, raspberry, strawberry, etc, but essentially no vegetables.  We are in withdrawal in a summer with no tomatoes or corn.  Pay dirt!  The Barn is close by and exceptional, so we've been loading up and stuffing ourselves with awesome tomatoes, green beans, corn, squash, radishes, and even got a bunch of pickling cucumbers to make pickles with!

Half sours working
Jan got her hair cut, doesn't sound like something to mention, but think about it.  We travel all the time, it's something full timers need to deal with, haircuts.  Now we have solved my hair, Jan cuts it, but for her it's always a project to figure out where and who to have it done by.  Anyway she has almost always been successful and was here as well, and the bonus was the salon was within walking distance of the campground and she was very pleased to boot.

We have also made Costco runs, REI runs, grocery store runs, found a famous Portland ice cream place called Salt and Straw that makes its own ice cream in very unique flavors, we can both report it was fantastic!  Then we also got our previously mentioned hunky tires:)
As Tim Allen would say, "ARRRR, ARRRR, ARRRR"
We have been busy to say the least, we had planned more sightseeing but.........we found out the shop, Amazing Creations, in Eugene that we had an appointment with to work on our rear TV cabinet could take us earlier which would expedite our time in Eugene enormously if we could get there.  So we are cutting out early, seeing them, and hopefully if all goes to plan get out of Eugene way ahead of schedule after our more important appointment with Elite for a couple slide issues and our rear running light problem.  So all said and done, we are out of here:)
