Oregon - Mike & Janet - July 2025

 What a great month!

What a perfect couple….
Camryn and Carter are engaged !!

We are so very happy for them both….
Plans are for an August 2026 wedding !!

Meanwhile……. Mike and I celebrated our 58^th Anniversary’’’
Whew – that’s a long time!

Mike and his buddy Joe built us a really nice deck in the backyard.

A new deck in the backyard…….  I LOVE IT !!!

One nice beautiful day, we drove up to Cascade Locks in the Columbia Gorge to have lunch and a visit with Anna.  She is working at a really good fish and seafood restaurant.  YUM!!

Not too much snow on Mt. Hood.
After we left Anna, we drove around the backside of Mt. Hood.
So beautiful !

At a 50^th Anniversary Party of some very dear friends, we met up with
Mark and Kathy Gentemann.  Mark and Kathy lived right across the street from us and they are parents of Brandon’s childhood friend
Jason Gentemann.  So much fun catching up with old friends.

We sold “Tiny” and bought a new camping Rig…….
I think his name is going to be “Mr. T”

We LOVE the new trailer…… so much room, so nice!

 

Great visit from Rick and Judy Hoage from Country Roads in Yuma.
Sorry no pictures but a great time!

We headed out to Neskowin for 4 Gorgeous days.
While in Neskowin, we ran into Brian Kelly
and his partner Mia.  Great visit about the Good ol' Days.

Enjoying our new deck!

Great fun for July !!

CAMRYN AND CARTER ARE GETTING HITCHED !!
Wahoo !!

Oregon - We're here!! - Mike & Janet - June 2025

 

Summer is buzzing past……

Mike has enjoyed Golf with Marc, Camryn and Maria….

I have enjoyed riding around with them.!!

 

We have put Tiny up for sale Tiny was just too tiny for the two fo us.

Tiny sold to a really nice couple from Rockaway.

AND

We bought a Grand Design Imagine.

It is wonderful….not too much longer than Tiny but it has a slide (really helpful) and it has a Murphy Bed (that give us so much more room)

We are so excited to start camping.  There area so many places we can go……the coast…..the mountains…..the lakes……. Here we come !

We went up to Stub Stewart State Park for a trial run!
We went with John and Sheri and had a great time.

The middle of June, we took our convertible Mustang and went topless with John and Sheri and Ron and Jan down to Albany.

We went to a carousel museum….very interesting and
of course we also got a ride!

The next day we drove through  the countryside and saw four different covered bridges.  Beautiful.

We also stopped and toured the Oregon Gardens…..
Not a lot in bloom at this time of year but I was told earlier in the Spring it’s spectacular

I have started Physical Therapy for my back pain……
not sure if it is helping or not.

The big project for June is our back deck.  Mike and his friend Joe along with John Soukup have built a beautiful deck.  A wonderful addition to our very plain backyard.

We have been watching our “Grandog” Duke while our kids were out of town……… so much fun.  Duke is loving the backyard too!

 July is here!

Summer is the best !!
