I got a Winnebago bird house,
tool bag (for under the front seat of Wilbur),
Lego leveling blocks and of course new socks. There were some other things I got, but they were probably things I needed or were useful.
And so the end of 2010 is a few hours off, and the past year was the same length as every other year, but there were times of great joy and some sorrow this past 12 months.
Our son gave up on J.P.Morgan Chase Bank and moved to Phoenix, AZ. (that was the sorrow)
My wife and I decided to retire, our daughter and her boy friend graduated from OSU and then were engaged to be married that same day during my salad at the Red Lobster. (and that was on my wedding anniversary)
Our daughter was accepted into her first choice for Nursing School in Portland, OR.
My wife and I spent several days in Wilbur seeing the great Northwest.
We took a road trip in the car to Southern AZ where we visited with our son, his girlfriend and some old friends who retired about 70 miles from the Mexico border. We saw the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and places we didn't even know were there.
So now we have been home for a month or so and are thinking of hitting the road for someplace.
