Happy Anniversary To Us

Forty one years!!! How does that happen?  Last year on this very day we were on the coast because the kids gave us a trip to Newport (That would be Newport,  Oregon for those who might think we went to California). Right now we are in Newport WITH the kids. Amanda,  George,  Thomas & Gavin were coming here for a short vacation and Walt said he wanted to go so they stuffed us in and here we are.  The two old people have more stuff than the four of them. Oxygen,  drugs,  special food, but Walt felt he could make the trip and so far so good.  We were excited to get adjoining rooms at the motel. The little boys thought that was great fun to go back and forth. About the third time of slamming the two doors together we all figured that back fired on us. We got here about 3 p.m. The fog was already moving in and the wind had picked up but we (well, me and the boys) took off our shoes and put our toes in the soft sand. They were so cute feeling that for the first time.  Thomas and I ran from a couple of waves, but when our feet turned red from the cold we had to give up. Poor Grumpy stayed in the car cause it was just too cold for his skinny body. For those of you that might not know Grumpy is the name given to Walt by Austin 14 years ago.  It fits him well some days. We had a great dinner, Walt got to eat Mexican prawns and a piece of my fish without the chips and I took the breading off.  I think I would be so sad to see all the good food and not be able to eat it, but he views this as an adventure and really wants to starve that Murphy.
I will post more after we get home.  Just wanted everyone to know we are still in there fighting and doing pretty good. Must be those prayers. Thanks for hanging in there with us. Oh, and tthanks for the comments. Walt loves to read those best.
