We arrived here on Monday 7/2.. Don & Gail had snacks and dinner awaiting us.. An unexpected surprise was Gail’s daughter Pam and son in law Ron were here. We all had dinner and did a lot of catching up and visiting.. A little wine and a whole lot of talking.. 
Tuesday we did some shopping around town. They have Macy’s here!! woo hooo.. got new clothes/shoes.. We went to Ross, found some great “treasures” there!! Hello??
Don & Gail treated us to dinner at the Country Club that evening…
Today is the 4th of July.. Been talking with Don about some fly fishing.. He worked getting my line on my pole so it didn’t have too much on it!! dahh?? He also gave me some good pointers for fly fishing.. I can’t learn too much too fast, won’t remember noth’in >> LOL Don’t know if that is cause I am getting old?? or just cause.. Don also make beautiful flies for fly fishing! He gave me some for my fishing that I plan on doing at Hat Creek next week when we meet up with Lindsy & Chris. The grand finale of our trip!!
I had decided to take a little walk around the neighborhood to just get some exercise instead of sitting around and just eating, if I don’t watch it I will gain all the weight I lost before we left on vacation. As I walked there was this older man sitting in his garage having a garage sale.. He didn’t look to have much, but as I looked around he had some stuff for camping for sale. Generator, carrier rack and some other odds and ends. We bought the generator, carrier rack and some other stuff.. We would need to go the bank in the morning to get the cash to pay him before heading back to McArthur, CA to Stan & Glorianne’s place.
For dinner Gail and I did most of the cooking. Don did par boil the pork ribs and Gail made potato salad.. I made up the salad and helped get the ribs browned up in the oven. Gail and I talked and it had been just a year since we've gotten to visit in person. Gee how time flies! We did a lot of catching up and enjoyed each others company so much!
After dinner Don, Gail, Ev and I packed the car with chairs and blankets to head over to Winston, OR for the fireworks show. The community park where the fireworks were being held had other entertainment as well. We arrive about 7pm there was a couple of different bands that played, a belly dancer that did some “belly dancing”. There were a few food vendors and a whole lot of people.. Did quite a little people watching.. The fireworks display got started a little past 10pm. This area of Roseburg/Winston, OR doesn’t get dark as fast as at home. The display was fabulous.. Love watching the fireworks! Always lots of “ooww’s and aww’s”.. Of course leaving the park was a traffic nightmare, but we managed to make it back to Don & Gail’s safely.. Not long after we got back we all hit the sack. It was going to be an early day the next day.
Ev and I got up early, got showered, packed up what we could and Don took Ev down to the bank so we could get our generator, etc.… before heading out.
As we were hooking up Don noticed a couple of things that needed fixing about the trailer.. He fixed the scissor jack, as well as tightened our trailer hitch, so that it wasn’t slopping down.. So now we refer to Don as “Don’s Garage”.. Guess we need to get him a sign for his garage door..
We headed out about 11am, not quite as early as we had hoped, but it’s always hard to say good bye and just get on the road sometimes.
We did arrive at Stan & Glorianne’s about 5:30pm that afternoon, McArthur, CA.
