August 2017

This has been a busy month for us.

We spent 10 days at Neskowin RV Park on the Oregon Coast.
While it was so hot in Portland, we enjoyed 60 to 70 degree weather.

Mike’s sister and brother-in-law (Sheri and John) and Mike and I rode on Rail Riders….a pedal powered type of open train car.  We went 12 miles and had a great time.

What a wonderful coincidence!  We accidently ran into old friends, Brian and Nancy Kelly from Hillsboro.  We got to spend time hashing over the good old times with them.

We were able to watch Marc, Maria and Colby in a Spartan Race!

What a tremendous amount of work……. 
They all did so good!

This was my attempt at taking a picture of the “Great Solar Eclipse”

The picture was a bust but the experience was definitely memorable.

Mike has been diligently looking for a new Mustang to replace our old one which was totaled last spring.  He finally found it.  It is a 2003 with only 21,000 miles on it.  It is as close to a new car as a 14 year old car can be.

We took off in the Mustang and headed south to Indio.  We took 3 days and really enjoyed the ride.  We drove down Highway 395 – my favorite drive.

After arriving in Indio, we put the Mustang in storage and flew back to Portland.

We ended the month with a fun day at the Oregon State Fair with John and Sheri.

The Belgian horses pranced around the arena so beautifully.

It was a beautiful day!
Warm but not too hot!

My favorite was the “Pig Races” 
Those little fellas are so much fun!
