Trip Home

We had a nice trip. Thanks for all the good food and good company.

We took White Pass home, Mnt. Rainer was incredible.

We also stopped at Heirloom Rose Gardens so I could clear my alergies out. I brought two roses home, Kateryna the little pink above, and Royal Pageant, the orange/peach below. They will be for Mom's garden.

Oregon Trip

Thanks to Cynthia for the bed and visits, Tamsin for the great food, and everyone for the great company! It was worth the trip just to see the babies!!!!So sweet. Sorry I didn't make it for church. I made up my mind Saturday night that we would leave in the morning, woke up Sunday morning and thought....you better go to church....but decided we needed to come home as Jord was having problems breathing. Although, I can't blame him for not going....I know he would've stayed if I would have said something. Next time I will be there. We came home via White Pass (drops into Yakima) and Mt. Rainier was incredible. Total view...no clouds...it was amazing. We also had perfect views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood. You can't beat the Northwest for beauty. Thanks again for the visits....we will see everyone soon.

Becoming a Washitonian Again!

Trying to get settled in. Things change when you have been away for 8 years. Enjoyed this last week with Brandi,Liz and the kids. The Lake was great....one look and I remember why I love the Chelan valley. Church has been such a peaceful place for me, we have been having some good meetings. People have grown in the faith and that is always a comfort. I have noticed changes in the kids, they have been having a blast with the all the cousins and friends. I'm a little sore this morning, we played softball yesterday at the park after church.....needless to say....I am out of shape. Lots of laughter and lots of comments from the oldies team....although we did beat the youngins'. I still don't know how we managed that, I think it was Ruben and his determination to win!!! Ha!!! We love Ruben, he's so enthusiastic about softball. Can't wait to take Kierra to the lake, so come on Cynthia.....we are waiting!
