Over the Ridge

We are now back home in Red Bluff after our trip up to Portland.  We were in Portland with our children's families for six nights.

The drive south today on Interstate 5 South, from Portland to Grant's Pass was dark, very cloudy and foggy, but with no rain.  The verdant Willanamath (sic) Valley was shrouded in clouds at times.

The drive south from Ashland to Redding was spectacular.  Clear skies, snow down to 2,000 feet, deeper at Black Butte Pass (3,924 feet) and Sisykiyou Pass (4,200 feet), with huge dramatic changing clouds.  The view of Mt. Shasta going south on I5 from the Klamath River south grade summit was breathtaking. 

The visiting with our two children and their spouses, and with our grandchildren.  Emotionally stressful for both Karen and I. 

Now, back at home:
Rule by calendars, schedules, time-lines, to-do lists, projects, ...
Seeking to reduce food intake and eat more salads. 
Returning to walking for exercise.
Take medicines and supplements on time per schedule.
