October 2019

What a busy month!

Early in October I visited with Brandon, Karen, Ben and Anna

Anna (and her friends) are getting ready for their homecoming dance!

Early in the morning, Ben participated in a regatta at Vancouver Lake.

Ben is #3 in his four man (quad) boat.

I went to Portland for my niece’s memorial service

A very sad event but a good reunion for my step sister and step brother.

Meanwhile back at ORI, the resort is preparing to be scalped.

Every year in the early fall (when the weather cools down)

Grass is scalped and reseeded for the soft winter grass.

Just a week later, Mike and I went back up to Portland.

The color of the trees was outstanding.  The weather was cool but sunny.

The reason for our trip was to stay with our grandson, Colby and with Marc and Maria’s dog, Jake.

While there, Jake had his 11^th birthday !

While in Portland, we got together with John and Sheri
(Mikes sister and brother-in-law.)

A great Italian dinner with Kim and Alice Hanson.

This summer in the unbearable heat, friends (Ken and Janet Zittrer) let us stay in their home.  So much cooler.  To thank them for their generosity,
I made them a quilt.

It's Monday Night Football time.  Great dinner with great friends.

A fantastic Goodbye Dinner with friends Stan and Shelley Wyman and
Mike and Karen French.

72 years old!

Great Birthday!!
