They'll show up here over the next few months, I'm sure.<br /><br />Tina, Oregon is definitely worth a visit. So many neat places there. The coast, the Columbia River Gorge that separates Oregon from Washington, the mountains (just ask M Pax), and the city of roses (Portland). I'll always be fond of my original home.<br /><br />Karen, I did love it! Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon how you look at it), I was there in the evening, so didn't get to see it in the full splendor of daylight, but it was gorgeous in the setting sun.<br /><br />Jenn, I would love to go to both of those places, as well! Some day. I was born in California, but moved before I was a year old. I have family there, though, and used to visit frequently when we lived in Oregon.<br /><br />Carrie-Anne, I imagine Florida in the fall is a bit more friendly than in the heat of summer. I hope you can make it out there in the fall.<br /><br />Andrew, it's just a certification. I could go on to get higher nursing degrees (they would be degrees, but CNA isn't), but I won't be, at least not any time soon. My dad will hopefully be here for several years (he is the one with ALS--I figure family members we don't want to know won't be reading these comments a week after the fact, so I can say it here), so that is where I will be. I found working in a nursing home terribly depressing, so if I do ultimately use it for a job, it will not be in a care home. :(<br /><br />Jan, I hope you can get a vacation this year at some point.<br /><br />Jimmy, wow, I'm intrigued as to the school trips. Where are they to?<br /><br />Libby, thank you!<br /><br />Julie, aw, thank you very much. I hope so.<br /><br />Yolanda, thank you! He is. He hates that it has to be that way, but I don't mind caring for him at all.<br /><br />Mary, thank you! I waved to central Oregon. <br /><br />John, thank you, it's easy to do when it is someone you love.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-38219740551995466802013-08-22T22:28:41.338-06:002013-08-22T22:28:41.338-06:00It's so good of you to put in such work to sup...It's so good of you to put in such work to support an ALS-sufferer.

It sounds like a very noble thing you're doing there. Good for you!<br />Enjoy that vacation. No, I have never been. We did a few small things this summer, but nothing too big. My youngest has a couple of large school trips coming up that we may be joining him for.
