Yep, We Finally Made It

As of today we have been at our new digs for just under 3 weeks, it's always a major thing when we move even though we live in a 5th wheel. We are not like those weekend warrior travelers or true snowbirds, no this is our home. We have to take everything and there is just so much room in our 36' land yacht, so when we stop and spend the night while on the road we have to look for a motel with a large parking lot.


We spent the first few days settling in and hooking up, I won't bore you with all the details, but most of all we got phone, TV, internet with complete quiet and privacy. We are 5 miles from Elkton, 30 or so from Roseburg, 37 from Reedsport. So far every morning we have had anywhere from 5 to 50 wild turkeys in our front yard, they are very majestic creatures. No we won't be having wild turkey for Thanksgiving, though it is tempting.



This is going to be a long term gig for us, so we got a pair of 5 month old kittens from a local pet rescue. Meet Polly and Scottie, they are brother and sister, they are Scottish Fold very distinctive markings and of course Scottie's ears are a dead give-a-way. We really like these two guys, Polly is very playful and Scottie is still recovering from his rescue trauma but coming around quickly.

Polly playing with a mouse, oh did I mention that Polly is a polydactyl like Toes, she has seven toes on one front paw, six on the other and knows how to use them.

You all have a great Thanksgiving, our oven is just big enough to bake a cornish game hen so no turkey for us, we'll be thinking of ya.

Oregon Bound ------------- That's Right!!!

Well the mystery is over, we will be pulling out of Marysville in a few days and heading up to Elkton, OR.
Jody and I have been hired as caretakers on a large property doing general maintenance as well as an on site presence for security. They will provide an apartment(under construction)and a place to park our 5th Wheel. We are looking forward to the new adventure. Our Shaklee business is doing great and that is what allows us keep moving around, come and visit. See ya somewhere down the road.

You Are What You Breathe!!

There are many small changes we can make, one is going green in our homes. It is becoming common knowledge that the toxic chemicals in popular products are harmful to you, to your children, to your pets, to the planet.

Household sprays 'linked to one in seven cases of asthma'
Lewis Smith Environment Reporter

Using cleaning sprays and air fresheners while doing housework could account for up to one in seven cases of asthma in adults, a study has found.

Just spraying a cleaner once a week can trigger an attack, according to the research. The risk rose the more that the sprays were used.

Furniture sprays, glass-cleaners and air freshener sprays were associated with the highest risk of a person developing asthma after doing the housework.

... Over 80,000 chemicals have been introduced in the last 50 years. Thousands of these chemicals are now in our homes in the form of cleaning products.

... Recent tests show hundreds of chemicals in the core blood samples of pre-born babies.

... Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.

... 1 in 13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994

... If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year (the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste).

The question now is What's under YOUR sink?

We Haz A Vizit! or Let's CRASH at Jody and Phil's

Jody got a cryptic phone message from Rita, that her and Matt would be at our door in a day or two. Oh and don't call me back I am roaming. Well that set off a small house cleaning rush(easy since we live in a small house) and quick trip to the grocery store. Just as Jody was getting in the shower the phone rings again and they need a guide for the last mile, off I go to play pilot car and we get our first out of state visitors. We did some catching up, local site seeing, ate out a couple of times and played some Hold Em and a good time was had by all and like Matt and Rita, you are welcome too. Rita did literally crash at our place, but that's a topic for another post.
