This month we had a
visit from our ORI friends, the O’Connors and Don Lippert.
We had a great day in Bend with them.

I caught this
little furry creature on a plant hanger about 6 feet
up the tree. He was just enjoying the sun!

One of Mike’s
favorites….. Jury Duty (in Vancouver, Washington.)
One of the kinks in full timing…… but we are so fortunate that our son and his family live in Vancouver, so we stayed with them for 10 days while Mike called in every day…… but was never required to show up for a trial.

While we were
visiting, Ben and Anna started school.
First day – Ben is in the 8th grade, Anna is in the 6th
grade and Karen teaches math in the 6th grade.
In Bend, near the
Old Mill District, we found some rapids
(I think they are man made) for the kayakers.
A little too rough for us old folks, but they sure look like fun!

John and Bonnie
came to Sunriver for a visit….. and they surprised us
with their new purchase. A beautiful bright red convertible mustang. It’s gorgeous!
This picture is taken on top of Pilot Butte with the entire town of
Bend stretched out below us.

When we first
arrived in Sunriver, there were so few deer
and even fewer fawns, but as the summer has moved on, they are coming out more.

Back to the
Portland area to see the kids one last time before we head south. Ben and Anna went to “I Fly” where they
floated on air in a wind tank. They both
LOVED the experience. You can tell by
the smiles on their faces!
Fall is definitely
here. The leaves are beautiful.
We have been
fortunate to go to two of Camryn’s soccer games
(they won both of them!) and watch Camryn score two goals.

A wonderful visit
with Ken and Darlene Sutton. Friends for
many years. Ken just had a knee replacement
and is doing wonderful. So good to spend
time with both of them!
This month, we also had dinner with Tom and Vanessa from
Bend.
Always good to see
them both!
We also had a
wonderful lunch with Mike’s sister, Sheri and her husband, John
Always good to catch up with family!

I hear the sun and the warmth calling me.
