It's way better

I lot has happened the last few weeks. we drove to BC Canada to visit Merlin and Brenda and also Kristen and Aaron who were up from Mexico City. A visit to the Zoo here and more recently a spur of the moment trip to the Redwoods in N CA.
That trip involved a lot of good scenery on the S. OR coast as well as a most enjoyable ten mile trip through the Redwoods on a narrow gravel road.





The overiding issue for me during the last 5 weeks or so is the chemo treatment on my
skin pre cancer issues. My forehead is now cleared up and My arms still have a way to go, but the burning, itching and bleeding issues are clearing up













We spent hours in this wonderland driving and hiking among these giants of God's creation.







We saw outstanding lighthouses . We hiked to t one at low tide in Crescent City. Reminds me of the song Ken Hughes SR. used to sing about when he came to have services in Anvik. This tree was near the lighthouse. There is a parable in here somewhere, but being old and a little bent over myself I can't figure out what that would be

Ouch Dad! That looks really painful. I'm glad I didn't see a picture of when it was bad...
Your trip through the redwoods sounds awesome. Scott and I will have to go down and hike through those sometime instead of just drive through like we have done. Thankful you are feeling better and so glad the medicine is doing the trick. Love and miss you!

Dad and Mom,

It was fun to you, albeit briefly, at the Roseburg Wendy's. And thanks for taking us out of coming back from San Fran via the Redwoods. That would have made for a very long trip home.
I do love your pics of the trip through the Redwoods and we will have to do that too.

Love you. Matt

You said there must be a parable of the old tree. Though it is "old and bent out of shape" people still find it a piece of interest and beauty. Hopefully that holds true of people as well. Glad you are feeling better and we,too, enjoyed the pics of your trip through the redwoods.
