We’re on our way to Soda Springs, Idaho. My class reunion is on the 4th of
July which gives us reason to spend some time visiting with mom and dad.
Much of the family will be there over the same time. My brother Perry and
his wife Chris are coming over, my sister Eileen and her husband are coming
up from Sandy, and my other sister Terry lives nearby in Grace. Our daughter
Heather is coming up with her kids for a couple of days. Dawnmarie and her
kids will be arriving from Spokane. Daryl and Jared are driving up as well.
So we should have a house full of people.

We’re towing the trailer to provide more beds (and in particular, beds for
Nina and me). So, we left about 3 p.m. this afternoon and drove as far as
Laramie. We’re camped in a KOA campground for the night and will drive the
rest of the way to Soda Springs tomorrow. This stop gives me a chance to
drain all the holding tanks before we get to Soda Springs. Dad does have a
sewage drain outside by the driveway, but it’s on the opposite side of the
drive from where the trailer will be parked.

It’s been quite a while since I last sent in a journal entry. Lots has
happened in the past few weeks. While we’re driving tomorrow I’ll probably
write a much longer entry that’ll get sent from Soda Springs when we arrive.

So for now, life is pretty good. I’ve caught a bit of a cold, but other than
that we’re having a great time.
