All our plans are always subject to change-we’ve become extremely
flexible in retirement.
Pat and I had
planned a leisurely two week trip back to Oregon from Iowa (mostly centered
around various wine growing areas!); however, a week before we were scheduled
to leave Iowa, my 87 year old mother was rushed to the hospital with a variety
of serious issues.
Fortunately these
were dealt with; but after being hospitalized for a week, the future outlook
was still pretty much up in the air.
We
decided to cancel our original plans and head straight back to Oregon.
So, we left Iowa early Monday morning and
after three 600 mile days of driving
hauling a 10,000 pound 5
th wheel behind us, we arrived home
in Oregon late Wednesday afternoon.
Good
news, by Friday afternoon, Mom was able to be transferred to a Rehab unit where
she’ll remain for up to three weeks as she gains her strength back.
We are in Eugene until mid-September and are looking forward to seeing
many old friends and visiting favorite places in the area.
