For a long time now Joyce and I have been discussing changing to the Beyond Unlimited phone plan with Verizon and today we made the move. Our old plan had unlimited talk and text with data usage set at 30 gigs. Several times in the past year we have bumped up against that limit and this month we actually went over by 3 gigs which cost us an additional $45. The new plan gives us the same unlimited talk/text but we now have “unlimited” data usage. The “unlimited” is actually full LTE/4g service up to 15 gigs and per hot spot then you are subject to prioritizing on the cell towers. With that in mind we purchased another MiFi Jetpack which gives us another 15 gigs of data before the possibility of being prioritized.

We were pretty busy on our days off this week. On Friday Joyce had a doctors appointment and then we got some shopping done. Yesterday we drove over Oakridge to visit Jim and Jeanne Glaspey.
Last week Max Glaspey, Jim and Jeanne Glaspey’s Great Dane crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a special friend to not only Jim and Jeanne but he was my buddy. I loved that guy and will miss him terribly. I think he is up there playing with my other buddy’s Hunter and Paddy Stills.
My Buddy Max.
Things are rolling right along here at Tumalo State Park. We’re starting to fill all the yurts and camp sites every night which is not unusual here. If past history is any indicator of what will happen this year, after the first of June we will be completely booked every night.
Later in the day….
I started seeing flashes of light on the left side of my left eye, best described as looking through a prism. As you may know I am partially blind in my right eye due to a TIA I had several years ago so you can believe I was really concerned about what I was seeing in my good eye.
After a few minutes I told Joyce and of course she insisted we head over to the urgent care at Bend Memorial Clinic (BMC). The nurse there sent us over to the emergency room at St. Charles Medical Center.
The emergency room doctor referred me to an ophthalmologist, so we made an appointment with Dr. Majerczyk at BMC. After his very thorough examination he believed I had a Ocular Migraine which is a pretty common thing. Jut one more thing to add to my list of that proves, “gettin’ old ain’t for sissy’s”.

On Friday we drove over to Oakridge to visit Jim and Jeanne Glaspey. Shortly after arriving Jim said he had to go to Eugene to buy a keg of beer. I thought that a tad strange since I had brought over a couple of 12-packs and I knew he had at least that much in his refrigerator but what the heck, lets go.
Since it was Jim and Jeanne’s thirty-second wedding anniversary we stopped at Fred Myers so that he could pick up some flowers for Jeanne. On the way up the hill back to Oakridge Jim asked me if I knew anything was going on at his house would I tell him and of course I said, “Heck no”.
When we turned into their driveway I noticed some balloons tied to the railing of the deck and then I saw extra cars parked near the garage. I still didn’t get it but I did notice Jim was smiling a little. The a bunch of people came running out of the house yelling Happy Birthday. Joyce, Jeanne and Jim had planned a 70th birthday party for me.
We had a wonderful time with plenty of food and beverages. Among the presents and card that I was given, Joyce’s card contained seventy $1 bills. Thanks Joyce, Jim and Jeanne!
Later.
Barry & Joyce
