Well, there we are! Finally in our beautiful 'permanent' spot!
For now, I'll say, cause you never know with us, we'll move whenever the fancy strikes us ..
We got approved on Monday morning and moved that same afternoon. No reason to wait any longer. Like I said, 3 months 'in limbo' is a loooong time waiting.
Our happy hour spot there in the pic above is now a lot closer and we placed a picnic table next to the RV on that side as well. It's a lovely shady spot for bot lunch and dinner.
The site came with an older wooden picnic table that we have moved to the other site and towards the back where it will catch either sun or shade depending on the time of the day.
It might move around a little when we find out when we'll use it most:
Look at all those trees! Most of them are maples but there's also a (weeping) birch, an Oregon ash and a mountain ash, some wild cherry trees and a red Prunus/Plum.
All that wonderful shade, I love it!
I've laid our mat under the awning in front of the door.
Soon, we'll re-build the little porch-floor like we had at our previous place in Newberg from which we brought the pallets with us.
But before we do that we want to spread a layer of wood-chips under and around the RV which hopefully will even out some of the bumps and holes, cover the concrete slabs, discourage weeds from growing and make everything look a little prettier as well.
We've given our phone number to some tree-removing guys that are cutting and shredding trees around town and hopefully they'll bring us a truck or two in the near future.
This is the view from my desk out of the side-window, and the one below is from the back-window.
Could be worse ...
Who don't let me come too close before they all take off in a flurry of wings ..
These little brown birds on a wire (house-finches?) let me come closer.
I guess they trust me not be able to climb in a telephone pole. Which would be true ..

So .. that was our big event this week.
And there even was a second one ... our 23d wedding-anniversary on Saturday!
We didn't 'do' anything special this year, we decided our time was better spent preparing for the upcoming move, but we did go for dinner to Earth & Sea in Carlton, a tiny town about 15 minutes from us:
The restaurant is housed in an old fire-station, which is probably the reason the ambiance could be a little warmer as there’s lots of hard surfaces that sound enjoys bouncing off.
The service was great though and the food (besides the under-cooked Brussels sprouts) very good and we enjoyed our special meal celebrating another year together.
And that's about it for this week I think.
I only managed to go for 2 walks and only shot some pics of our local swallow and pigeon population ..

There you go .. 'that's all folks'!
(I had to look that up, not having grown up with this saying but having heard about it, and it turns out that
.. at the ending of many Looney Tunes cartoons, Porky Pig bursts through a bass drum head, and his attempt to close the show with "The End" becomes "Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th... That's all, folks!")
