May 10th

Hello to all. It has been a great week. Highlight was Thursday when the entire family, minus Andy, ten of us, went to Claimjumper in Lake Oswego. We had never been there and the portions were huge, so we were told; everyone leaves there stuffed. My meal consisted of onion rings and a chocolate milkshake for my appetizer. The main course was ribs and chicken, huge baked potato, roasted vegetables, garlic cheese toast, big portion of my mom's ribeye steak, followed by mud pie that I split with my daughters and then I ate another one by myself. After all of this I was still hungry, so I guess my appetite is back. As far as sleep, they found one medication that is working and I am alternating between this and another one that is not working so well. We are right in the midst of packing. Tiffany spent the entire weekend with us and she helped put a huge dent in the house. Our house is in utter chaos to say the least. Our plan is to have everything boxed and ready to go before the June 1st move. I only have two more times in which I have to mow our huge lawn. Looking forward to a smaller place!

I have a George Peppard look to me, as my brother said (Banechek (sp?)). He says I should keep this style, but after being bald I will be danged if anyone will try to cut this. No, I don't plan on acquiring a pony tail.

As you can guess, things are happily chaotic. As always, I am so thankful to my family and all of my friends.

Ron,I get to leave the first comment on this blog.Glad to hear about your eating success.If I know you,you are also mixing running and walking with that.Thanks for making me hungry,7:20 in the morning and now I'm alrady eating my lunch.I've been going to Costco for lunch every couple of weeks with a frind here in the office to get the foot long hotdog and drink for $1.50.Haven't had to get 2 of them yet,they always fll me up.That George Peppard look sounds intersting.The last time I came out of the woods hunting in Lapine I had that Yassar Arafat look.And that's not a good thing.It's so nice to read these blogs now filled with good news.Cathy and I have been keeping Mongolian Grill in business.Let me know when and if you and Kathy are ready to hit that place again.

Ron, this is great news! We're so glad you're EATING well. We were at Albany Costco today and I immediately thought of you grazing then finishing with the Costco hot dog w/drink. Good luck with the packing. :)

Will follow Buck and say the same thing. Just finished mowing the lawn and am starved after reading your entry Ron. It's fun to hear you describe your appetite.
Corky and I had lunch here in town on Cinco de Mayo and started catching up after 30 years! We wanna meet ya for lunch sometime in the next month. Let us know when you need a break from packing or moving. Can lend a hand too if ya need it.
Now I grab some grub. A milkshake sure sounds good.
Cheers, Doug
