This is a nice spot lots of trees and nice and clean! So yesterday...oh wait let me start over...Previously a few nights ago, Jim watched a commercial on TV saying there was going to be an RV show in Portland...Oh, yippee!!! So yesterday we went into Downtown Portland (gorgeous city BTW) and we stop at a donut shop we also saw on a HGTV program promoting eating places...don't think it was the triple D, but another one! Anyway...pretty darn good. They make different, weird, way out donuts (supposedly). I had a glazed donut covered in a cream cheese tasting frosting with orange sprinkles and also sprinkled with Tang! Yes, Tang, our orange drink that went to outer space!!! Cool huh? And Jim was so (into) finding this weird adventurous donut place he had to have a....drum roll....apple fritter!!!! Way to step out of the (pink) box Honey!!! LOL!!!
They had cute tee shirts...kinda sexist...magic happens in a hole and then the whole pink box thing...I dunno, maybe its just my weird since of humor...Ha Ha!!!!
So, OK getting back to "THE" RV Show...well we got to the location without any incidents...drive up and yes, it is free...OK honey get your money out for the parking...drive up and WoW parking is free too!! I'm thinking this is NOT a good sign...nothing good is this Free!!! So...remember when we had to go to Eugene to have the warranty work done? We took the Dragon to Paul Evert's RV? Guess What????? This hole (had to use hole just once more...ahem...my weird brain)...RV show was a one man show...no vendors, like we assumed we would see, ie. pots and pans, mattresses, BBQ's etc...you get the picture. AND the one man show was guess who it was? Go ahead....Yep, Paul Fricken Evert's!!!! Only his RV's, that's it...drove all this way to see RV's we've already seen!!! Least the Outer space Donut was worth the trip!
So, OK, the reason we stopped here in Beautiful Fairview was it has a Walmart so Jim can get his prescriptions filled...well, we got 2 filled but still awaiting his 3rd. Jim has social security and has to get his Rx's filled at Walmart (cheaper for us). But since our "Home" Walmart is in Paso Robles, CA and is also where his doctor is located, he has to contact the Dr's office and have them send the refill to the Paso Walmart and then the Fairview can do a "Transfer" to collect the Dr's refill approval. So Friday we get here and Jim calls his Dr's office and asks them to call the Pharmacy @ Walmart...blah, blah, blah...OK we'll do it this afternoon for sure...next day Jim calls Walmart in Paso to check to see if they got the fax from the Dr? Nope...so we're hanging out here longer in hopes of getting the Rx on Monday...what a pain!! I don't understand why people can't do what they say they're going to do?? Why? Otherwise just say sorry I can't do it for you today I'll do it first thing Monday!! I don't get it!!!
So, OK, we met the nicest guy here last night...he was coming from Florida, where we're heading and we got some great info. from him. Since we're new at this and he's a seasoned RV'er we've decided not to go to Coeurd'Alene ID...he says he thought it was too expensive and the services for RV'ers isn't very good...Sooo, were going to truck on to Montana and bypass Idaho altogether. We are going to stay a night or two at an RV part west of Pendleton, OR on the Columbia River in a town called Boardman. www.boardmanmarinapark.com/ It looks nice and then from here we can travel onto Bozeman, MT.
Before I bid you adue...I want to put out there to Heaven...a Loving Happy Birthday Remembrance to my Dad...Happy Birthday Tomorrow, Clyde...kiss Mom for me, I miss you both a bunch!!
