One of the grand things about being out on the road is the many opportunities we have to find, visit and enjoy family we have not had the opportunity to visit for many years. A few weeks back we attended the Memorial Service for one of Ann's cousins, Bill Snyder. So, we decided it would be nice to go visit his wife, Marge. We left Sean and Amanda's house and towed our rig to Woodburn on I-5 where we met up with Ann's brother, John Huff, who had driven up from Medford. We left our truck and trailer parked in a Wal-Mart parking lot for the day ant then rode with John in his little fuel saving car up to near Olympia, Washington where we met up with Marge in the care facility she lives in.
We had a nice 3 hour visit with Marge. We shared pictures of our family and they reminisced on old times spent together in Ann and John's youth. It was nice.
We then hopped in the car and drove back to Woodburn, OR, stopping at an Izzy's on the way for dinner. Then arriving back at our trailer about 7:00 PM, we bid a quick adieu to John who still had a 4 hour drive back home to Medford.
We spent the night there in the Wal-Mart parking lot and rose the next morning ready for our next adventure.
