Long day

We drove the most today we have, and let me tell you we don't go very far in a day.  We stopped a couple times so i could walk, and we stopped to get gas and since we don't have many groceries on board we stopped for a meal., then drove further than we planned as we wanted to get to this campsite.  We are at Ainsworth State Park on the oregon side of the columbia river.  I can tell we are back out of the mts as its hot and humid here and in sisters it was 90 and felt like 70.  Camped next to a young couple with 3 dogs and 2 kids, sounds awful but they are very nice young kids.  We parted ways in sisters with my new quilt friend and she gave me some zuccini from her garden.  She has 8 acres and she calls it a comnity garden, she plants it, does all the work and the comunity eats it.  I gave her some quilt magazines i had finished, so it was a nice exchange. i love the people we meet when we travel, since i talk to everyone, makes no difference if they like me or not or think i am crazy or not, but its amazing you meet lots who are just like you.  You see and briefly cross paths with many people, many who renew your faith in human nature.  Lovely totally patient sales clerks, the guy who was parked in a long spot reserved for big units and smiled and moved his car so we had a place to park, people that offer help and step up, it just always amazes me.  Its not like the trip to africa that ramona is on now but fulfilling just the same.
Sidney has been hanging around up here in the front while we drove today.  Sleeping between us and going from one to other and waving and asking to be pet. He certainly is handling this well.  Carrie just sleeps on the bed all the time.
Iris is finally blowing her coat so we have to brush her out a couple times a day, imagine that gets hot and itchy, i know she has been itching a lot lately.
The dogs are surely enjoying these sniff walks all over and the run outs we do when we have a place.  They are tired and relaxed by time to settle in.
