Last Days of Living in Bandon


Today is October 27 2008 and a Monday. How time does fly when having so much fun. We are now down to the last two days of living in Bandon if all goes well we will be vacating Bandon on Wednesday morning. It is getting scary as we don't know if we will be able to get everything loaded we may have to make some other arrangements to transport everything on this move. I am sure we could have done things a different way and it would have been easier . I guess we are just "do it meselfers" even if it cost more and a lot more work. Shirl has been great and is always searching for boxes. Then he fills them up and goes in search for more boxes.


I still need to go out and take more pictures of the final days in Bandon.

It is like a really good dream coming to an end and finding myself in a scary place. I have loved Bandon from the beginning. We have made wonderful friends and feel so much a part of the community here.

Life will be a lot different in Colorado. I enjoyed our time in Colorado Springs when we lived there before, but it was very lonely with so many people crammed into one area. The military presence and heavy concentrated population makes for a very busy lifestyle. Like living in a beehive. No more quiet mornings with just the sound of the ocean and the fog horn. Foggy misty or bright sun it was always a beautiful morning and a peaceful feeling to restore calm in my life.

I'm not confused just overwhelmed

Below is a couple of pictures of my favorite places in Bandon and then I included a couple pictures from my China visit. The spitting dragons is from Aberdeen area of Hong Kong and a pictures of the Great Wall at Badaling China.

Moving Day is fast approaching











Here we are near the end of October and we had hoped we would be settled into Colorado Springs by now. Like always, the best laid plans often take a detour. We still have one more event to take care of and then we will be pretty much prepared to travel east. After Saturday and the "Celebration of Life" for my dear friend Dorothy Edmison we will be just facing the loading up and moving out. I have taken some pictures but have not downloaded them at this time. We are literally walking around and climbing over boxes.
