Saturday, 25 August, we picked up Jim & Vonnie Lash and headed for Jazz Alley, Seattle, WA. Keiko Matsui was playing keyboard and piano, along with a small ensemble. No voices...all instrumentals. Super concert and great dinner!

Saturday, 18 August, Carol and I got up early and drove to Twin Falls, ID. We spent the night and got an early start on Sunday morning...heading for Ft. Collins, CO. We arrived at Kelly's house around 3:00p.m. After hugs and kisses, etc. we had dinner with everyone! The court proceedings were on Tuesday, 21 August at 8:30a.m. The divorce was finalized but the division of assets and the custody of the children (and visitation) would be handed down via conference call to the lawyers on the 6th of September. We left Kelly's on the Wednesday, 22 August, and headed home.

Sunday, 12 August, we made a second attempt to drive south and see Roberta and the kids in Redding, CA. Again, we stayed overnight in Canyonville, OR. Then got up the next morning and headed for Redding. Success...we got to spend the afternoon with Roberta and the kids (a lot taller now :). Good to catch up on how everyone is doing and school had just started. We drove back to Canyonville and spent the night...got up early Monday morning and drove to Grand Ronde for lunch. Then drove up the Oregon coast to Tillamook and took HWY 6 home. Great drive and super weather!
