I had a good time renewing friendships at my 40th class reunion held near Idaville, OR. We were surprised by the arrival of 3 of our teachers: Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. Abrahamson.
Bill put a new door in for my mom. It was a bit of a challenge because the house had settled over the years, and he had to put the door into a slanted hole!
Everything she does is a work of art...even her raised beds!
We had a couple of twin visitors nearby...
Candy cooked a wonderful oyster dinner, and we had some beautiful veggies for a salad. She also made a HOMEMADE lemon meringue pie for Bill. Talk about spoiled!
We made our annual trip to Shellburg Falls with the Young Single Adults, and Bill took his turn. I was perched on a bank below taking pictures. It's a bit of a thrill doing this at our ages :-).
or to go down the slide...
The funny faces Jesse likes to make, he comes by naturally!
For my birthday, Bill and I went to the coast again. We drove along the Alsea River toward Waldport, and we stopped at a place where my mom used to live while growing up.
It's no wonder my mom enjoyed living here so much. I look forward to taking her back here again soon.
Here are some of the Young Single Adults that Bill and I work with in our church.
Bill had a day off, and we headed straight for the beach! We found another old covered bridge on our way to Newport.
Bill talked me into climbing a little tree.
Harbor seals enjoying the sun and cormorants doing whatever cormorants do...
We drove up to Portland to celebrate Anne and Matt's birthdays with them. Anne got some equipment to go dig for trilobites. She was pretty excited.
Jesse and Megan feeding ducks at Minto Brown Island Park.
These girls stopped everything they were doing to watch Jesse. At one time he climbed the little "wall" between two of them and he said, "Excuse me!"
Such a little BOY!
