Awake: 6:42am Temp 49 sleep 6+47 sunny overnight @ Portland, OR.
Drive to Vancouver & attend the 8:45am children’s Mass @ Our Lady of Lourdes Church & School. We visit briefly with Rochelle & Donavon & give Monica a quick hug afterwards. The church was very full on this holy day of All Saints Day. We return to our bus for a late breakfast.
My buddy, Ray, calls from Ocean Park with a suggestion of another campground that we might be interested in when visiting; I check it out on line, give them a call & sign up; a good idea; thanks Ray.
I spend some time trying to figure out how I can continue getting some of my favorite instant coffee; for over (10) yrs now, every day I’ve been drinking (1) cup of Nescafe Excella Coffee from Japan adding just milk & drinking it cold. Nick has been very faithful in supplying this coffee when he visits his in-laws but I would like to have a back-up system. About (5) yrs ago when I contacted the USA distributor, the Excella version was not being imported into the USA. The Japanese web site is: www.nestle.co.jp/ any help out there?
@ 4:05pm, I drive some (40) miles one way, to the Aurora Airport & attend the Columbia Aviation Association meeting. My sponsor, Lyle, was the only guy I knew out of 60 plus members. Where are the rest of my ole buddies? Lyle was very good @ introducing me to some of the more frequent local flyers so we did some hangar flying after all. Dinner: (2) thick slices of corned beef with mashed potatoes, cabbage, & ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert. The speaker tonight was Larry D. He brought the crowd up-to-date on the future diesel powered Cessna aircraft for 2008. I hope to attend this meeting again next yr & maybe I’ll see a few more of the ole gang.
Late movie: “The Enchanted Cottage” with Dorothy McGuire, Robert Young, Herbert Marshall, Mildred Natwick, etc. A story about (2) misfits, a homely woman & a disfigured man, who find each other beautiful in the enchanted cottage. 1945. Some touching moments but the last 1/8 of the story was a little disappointing.
Lights out: 12:07am
