Ok..we got a bit of a late start because my husband had a job that took a little more time than he thought. We didn't get out until about 12:30 and still had to pick up the trailer from Mary and Craig. We decided to stop in Centralia, since we were'nt going to make it to Monticello mall in time to enjoy shopping. I was a little disappointed in Centrailia, but knew many of the shops would not be open because it's Monday.. Catty Wampus was open and I always enjoy their store. I only found a couple of items there and nothing at the other 2 or 3 shops that were open. Still fun though...Since I had only eaten hot tamales on the drive down, we headed over to Harold's. This is a must stop for burgers and fries if you are in the area. It's an old style drive in joint that must look like it did in the 50's. The burger fries and onion rings were super. Mary and I love this place. We even got my friend Dani, (Miss Health food queen) to eat a burger and fries on one visit. 
Here's Eddie right on the console. He loves road trips too.

Harold's on Gold Street. 
Catty Wampus Antique Mall. This is my favorite dealer. Her space is just inside the door to the right. She has a fabulous eye and I love, love, love her stuff....
Sorry, forgot to rotate picture. If you've been in my store, you know how I love statues and this lady was dressed in fine jewelry. We made it to Portland, close to the Monticello Mall. Since we don't know which way we are coming home, I didn't want to miss it. It really is a great store and it inspires me....
As I mentioned in the last post, we are staying at a swanky Motel 6.. after you get use to the smell, its not so bad. Eddie doesn't mind too much because he figures tons of his relatives have left their mark before him...P.U.....Oh well it's only one night and I'd rather save the money to buy some cool stuff.
Ok, I'll take more pictures tomorrow. We're starting off at Monticello and then????
I hope to have some pictures of Vern, but he's a little camera shy...(and crabby)..
Be Good...

It looks like it's going to be a statue kind of trip! Let me help Vern out............ Vern it could be worse. You could have me in the back seat!
You must try to go out to Silverton, Auntie Joys, and Baumans. If you get down to Eugene let me know. I got a couple places I really like down there also.
Have a good time!

Sounds like fun so far. I hope you are waiting around this morning for Monticello to open. You know how I love that place.
Make sure you keep Vern fed! Helps with the crabby factor!
Shop on!
Hugs!
