So Good To Be Home!!!

We got home at about 3pm this afternoon. Boy was it nice to get home and kick off my shoes and just relax. That was a long trip, but it sure was fun and worth it. We saw a lot of territory that we had never seen before and also had lots of fun.

We traveled over 2600 miles around Oregon. The only places we didn't get to see was the Mt. Vernon area and we didn't get up to see Kay and Doug up in La Center, Washington. Otherwise we were able to see all other places we had planed to visit.

Well, I think I will just lounge around in front of the TV the rest of the night because I am really tired and don't feel like doing anything else today. Everyone take care and may our Lord continue to bless each one of you. God bless, Lloyd

Enjoying the Sunshine in Florence!

We pulled into Florence this afternoon at about 3pm. The weather is just beautiful with clear skies and the temputure about 70 degrees. We will be staying at the Woahink Lake RV Resort for the next three days. We decided to extend our stay here in Florence by one day because the weather is so nice.

I will update our vacation picture album in a few days. We will be heading back to Roseburg sometime Tuesday morning.

Ravens health and divorce

Hello everyone just thought I would share that I have tumors on both ovaries being removed and biopsy next week or the following week. Then some skin tests as I have moles on right arm that are possible cancer bleeding and stuff also possible colon cancer. So 3 surgeries coming up. I'm also losing my drivers license until they can figure out why I keep blacking out.

I'm going through a really bad divorce and I feel like Job. Pray for a speedy recovery and that if it is cancer they can catch it before it spreads to more organs then it already has. I'm on tons of meds for pain, and anti-cancer drugs so I can't keep food down or drinks and I'm losing a lot of weight and losing a lot of hair too.

I will be in Newberg this morning sometime to visit dad, no kids this time :) yippee... I have posted new pictures of the kids on my facebook; they are both growing up way to fast. Ok well goodnight to all. I hope you all are doing well. Love Raven

Enjoying The Ocean Breeze!

What a beautiful view of the ocean

We pulled into the Lincoln City Premier RV Resort around 2pm this afternoon. What a beautiful day on the coast. It is a little overcast and the temperature is about 65 degrees. We are right across from the Inn At Spanish Head and enjoying the ocean breeze. We will be just relaxing around the RV park the rest of the afternoon, then tomorrow we plan on going sightseeing.

Good Morning Family & Friends!

Well, we had a little change in our itinerary but everything seems to be working out pretty well for us. The Lord has been so good to us during our trip around Oregon. He has kept us save and we have been to so many beautiful places that we have never seen before.

We pulled into the Aurora Acres RV Resort Friday afternoon. This is a nice little RV park, but we stayed there only three days. The noise from the freeway was bad so we moved over to the Phoenix RV Park in Salem yesterday morning.

On Saturday we were able to visit with Louise and her family. Louise is doing pretty well and she has a lot of loving family for support. We all went out to the Hometown Buffet and had lunch and visited with each other. Howard's funeral will be at 2pm on Wednesday, June 23rd, at Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Salem.

After visiting with Louise, we drove over to my mom's house in Newberg to be with the family as we celebrated my mom's 89th birthday. What a blessing it was to visit with family and see some of my nieces and nephews.

Margaret and I are planning on staying at the Phoenix RV Park until Thursday morning, then we will be heading to Lincoln City were we will spend two nights (24th & 25th). We will then drive on down to Florence and stay there for two nights (26th & 27th). We are hoping for good weather while on the coast. We should be arriving back home in Roseburg on Monday the 28th, if the good Lord is willing and the creeks don't raise. Anyways!

We are having a great time traveling, but really miss our family there in Roseburg. I have updated our picture gallery, but still need to label a few of the pictures.

Heading Home Tomorrow

We will be leaving in the morning for Aurora Acres RV Resort where we will spend three days. We want to be with Louise to give her a little support and comfort. Howard's funeral will be on Wednesday so we will take our trailer home on Monday and drive back up for the funeral.

We will also be able to be at mom's birthday party on Saturday. We are looking forward to seeing everyone then. Take care and may God bless, Lloyd

We Are In Pendleton

We arrived at the Wild Horse RV Park in Pendleton at about 2pm this afternoon. We are just going to take it easy and relax the rest of the day and do a little laundry and cleaning up. Tomorrow we plan on touring the area where we lived back in the early 1970's.

We got some bad family news a few hours ago. Margaret's brother-in-law, Howard Kuebker, died this morning. Please lift Louise and family up in prayer to the Lord. Howard's health has not been too good for the past several years, but his death was unexpected.

Good Morning From Baker City

We pulled into Baker City Monday afternoon. We have been staying at the Mountain View RV Park for the past two days. The weather is just beautiful, clear skies and warm temperatures. I can see why they call this RV park "Mountain View" -- The picture on this post is what we see outside our trailer. The snow caped mountains are so lovely.

Yesterday we took an all day tour and sightseeing drive up Hell's Canyon. We even stopped by the ghost town of Sparta. I took lots of pictures which include the Hell's Canyon Dam and the only little house left in Sparta.

We are heading to Pendleton this afternoon. We will probably stay two nights there, just relaxing and a little sightseeing.

Hello From Huntington

We are staying at the Oasis RV Resort along the Snake River just outside of Huntington. We pulled in on Saturday afternoon. There is no internet service here so today we drove into Huntington where we are setting at a picnic table outside the county library. It is very relaxing at this little park and the weather is about 85 degrees.

We spent today worshiping the Lord at Calvary Baptist Church in Weiser, Idaho. We then drove around Weiser sightseeing. God is good. He has provided our need for worship and now the need to see if all is okay back home through the internet.

We will be heading to Baker City tomorrow morning where we will spend two nights. We want to take a tour of Hell's Canyon. Well, everyone take care and post something on the blog if you get a chance.

Burns For The Night!

We pulled into Burns around 1pm this afternoon. What wonderful weather we are having. It is supposed to be warm now for the next week or so. Anyways... we are camping at the Old Camp Casino RV Park for the night then heading for the Huntington area in the morning.

Margaret feels a little better today. When we pulled into the RV park, we were the only ones there camping. There are now two other RV'er's here now besides us. After we set up camp, we went for a walk then we sat down and played several games of farkle.

I haven't seen too much activity on our family blog lately. How is everyone else doing these days? I have updated our vacation photo album of the pictures we took today. Take care and may God bless each of you.

Greetings From Lakeview

Well we had a lot of fun sightseeing around the Junipers Reservoir RV Resort and now we are ready to head to Burns tomorrow morning. We drove into Lakeview to look around but were a little disappointed because there wasn't too much to see. There was an old museum but it was closed. It was too windy and rainy to fish, but when the sunshine did come out we were able to go for a walk on the paths around the RV park.

I have updated our vacation picture file for everyone to enjoy.

Good Morning From Klamath Falls

We had a wonderful three days in the Klamath Falls area. North Klamath Lake was just beautiful, reflecting all of God's glory. This morning we will be getting things packed up and ready to move on to Lakeview. We will be staying two days at the Junipers Reservoir RV Resort located on a large ranch in Lakeview.

We are still both trying to get over these darn colds, but otherwise things are going pretty well with the traveling and sightseeing. Yesterday we got to say "Hi" to Jack and Sammy on Skype. It is so nice to be connected to the Internet where ever we go.

Got to go now and fix Margaret her breakfast. Take care and may God bless.

Sightseeing In Klamath Falls

Hello family and friends... We pulled into Klamath Falls around noon time today. We are staying at the Oregon 8 Motel & RV Park located on Hwy. 97, just North of Klamath Falls.

The weather is so nice here compared to all the rain and wind we had over on the coast. We will be staying here for three days then we will be heading to Lake View. Tomorrow we plan on doing some sightseeing in the area, but today we are just going to hang out and relax. God's blessings, Lloyd

Hello From Brookings

Well, maybe traveling Oregon in June wasn't that good of an idea. The two days in North Bend were rainy and windy. However we still had a good time driving around sightseeing and hanging out with each other.

We arrived at the "At Rivers Edge" RV Resort in Brookings yesterday afternoon with the rain storm following us from North Bend. It has been raining hard with lots of wind every since we got here. The RV park is located alongside the Chetco River and is just beautiful. As soon as it clears up Margaret and I are going to go out and walk around and see the lovely sights.

I have placed a few pictures of our trip in the "Family Blog Photo Gallery" located on the left sidebar, under "Our Oregon Vacation Trip". Everyone take care and may God bless.

"On The Road Again"

Well, family and friends Margaret and I are taking off in a few hours for our journey around Oregon. We are pretty excited because its been awhile since we have had a chance to get away with our little home-on-wheels. We will probably be gone the whole month of June just hanging out together and enjoying each others company.


Here is sort of a tentative itinerary of our travels:

1-2 -- North Bend/Coos Bay area.
3-4 -- Brookings/Gold Beach area.
5 -- Medford area.
6-7 -- Klamath Falls area.
8-9 -- Lake View area.
10 -- Burns area.
11-12 -- Huntington area.
13-15 -- Richland/Hells Canyon area.
16 -- Pendleton area.
17-18 -- Mt. Vernon area.
19-21 -- Madras/Warm Springs/Bend area.
22-23 -- La Center, Wa. area.
24-26 -- Newberg area.

Of course the above itinerary can change if we happen to come across an area where we feel like hanging out a little longer. I want everyone to have a blessed day and remember that God is always in control. God bless, Lloyd
