Kathi, thank goodness the smell of the paper mill is gone, but so are the jobs connected with it. That was hard for the workers. Yep, your hair will be a mess by the time the 48 hours is over, in fact, just a few hours of all those electrodes and hair has to be washed. Hope you get good results.

Isn't that the funniest thing you've heard today? Thank goodness you don't have to smell the paper mill when you get up. I remember my freshman year when the smell was something new to me. Really disgusting...seemed like the smell flowed toward the campus with the river. I think the humidity comes from the river and makes the summers there so hard. It would be hot anyway, but you know how bad the humidity makes it feel. The air feels so thick it seems like you can't breathe! I went back to my neurologist this morning, which my orthopod asked me to do. Monday morning I return to neurologist's office to begin a 48 hour EEG. Stuff sticking out all over my head. Tuesday I go back to bet the battery checked. Wednesday I go back to get everything undone. My first act will be to go straight home and wash my hair!! It should be really gross by then! That's really all I know.

We drove to Lincoln City , then everywhere we went every day, my daughter drove because she knew what to show us, everywhere, and I was very anxious to see the 'big trees' in the National Forest because my oldest brother went there in 1939, and stayed for years in the CCC, from Alabama. I had treasured the picture I had of him, climbing up a TALL tree,and laying on one already felled. His lodgings were in the community, not too far from Tillanook. So I loved that part of the state...and seeing all the beautiful pastures of cows.I couldn't get over the size of those dairy cows...they looked like they would burst wide open, we went to the cheese factor, and watched the cheese making, had a great lunch there, and bought cheese curds, which I love. I 'snuck' some in my take on tote bag, to bring on the plane. I saw tons of things I wanted but couldn't get it on a plane. I did pick up my little gem of rocks on the beach...plus we found a beautiful square dark grey volcanic rock, with a hole in one corner, from erosion that looked like it was drilled in it...my daughter being an artist painted on it, with the date, and place. I hung it on my deck, when I got home, in my cactus plants but decided the weather might ruin it's looks, so brought it in, with my collection of rocks from everywhere. Yes, Oregon was the most desirable place to live, that I have ever visited. I still had my antique shop, here, when I was out there...so I saw every place tat sold anything...(grin) I like to compare prices and styles in other states, I found a really nice property for sale there, in Lincoln City...but it was a heart wrenching decision...I knew my daughter was not there permanently and all my kids back here...plus a great grandson.I would have loved it. I promise you, Emma, If I was able I would come out there in the summers, but you know what? The climate is changing there, like everywhere else..things happen that are very unusual. I have to get some work done. I lost a dear friend, here this week. (she had lived for 5 years with a daughter in Gulf Shores) so I have a Memorial to go to tomorrow.
