First day of retirement

I think I don't actually consider this as "retirement" - not like someone who has worn himself or herself out completely during a carreer and isn't capable of doing anything else but sitting and watch tv. Well, today I am at Astoria, OR (northwestern most corner of the state) biding a little time until I have to be at Nehalem Bay (Wednesday morning). I was stunned and completely overwhelmed at the sight of all the fallen and broken timber and uprooted trees, which went down as a result of the exceptional storm which hit the coast around here on Dec. 2.  It really looks like a tornado hit the area. I came across from Portland to the coast on route 26. About 15 miles from the coast is where I started seeing all the devistation to the forests and areas along the road. I saw a big metal roofed building with a big tree which just bashed it in like a tin can. Oh, my! Glad I wasn't here. THe lady at the RV park where I am tonite, said that she thought here 5th wheel trailer was going to just lift off the ground and be moved somewhere else. I bet she did.

After a couple of days more and I'll settle in for some routine. I'll bet there aren't too many campers this time of the year. Life is good and God is gooder.
