A fun weekend

On Saturday, I walked in my garden and then I went down the Canyon to visit with Dorothy & Jeffery, Dick, and Barbara, view the gardens at Tobin, and see the new paint job on Dorothy's Post Office!  On Sunday, Grant and I drove up the La Porte road to see how far we could get.  Here are some of my photos:

LaPorte Road...snowed in past this point still

The Old Red Bridge at Nelson Creek



More flowers & shrubbery pictures

I don't know the names of many of these things because most of them came from friends sharing from their own gardens or seed packets strewn about and forgotten until they come up and surprise me.  It's going to be a pretty lush year if the deer don't eat everything!

June 1st visit

Happy Birthday Jeffery Wilson!  We missed you at our weekly gathering/sleepover, but we had a nice dinner fixed by Kyria, and the newlyweds, Kristine & Alex, also came over with the dogs for a meal and an evening of Wii.  Grant amused himself by using a laser pointer to play with the pups, as you can  see.  By the way, Jeffery, the Wii told us several times that it was your birthday today!!!  Here are a few photos for the memory books.

Memorial Day Weekend ~ Early Saturday Walkabout

May 25, 2011

Kyria and Dorothy came for dinner and the night as usual on our weekly sleepover.  Jeffery didn't make it because he is in Arizona/Utah with our friend Dick checking out Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon.  Kyria had been working all day in Greenville and was cold and wet (it rained/snowed today). 

We watched tornado videos on the Weather channel because they are having such severe storms in the midwest currently (hopefully Kyria and Jeffery will get work with FEMA on the cleanup).  We played Wii, and Grant fixed fondue for supper.  Just as Dorothy arrived around 3, we had heavy snow squalls, but it didn't stick.  At 9 pm, we looked outside only to discover snow sticking to everything.  May 25th for goodness sakes!  Here are some of the pictures to commemerate the day.

Dorothy using the high-speed internet to catch up on stuff that dial-up just doesn't let her do!

9pm surprise!

A picnic with Kyria

The covered bridge at Oregon House near Oroville, where we stopped to have a picnic lunch.  Grant and I stopped at the dam below Belden on the ride home.  It was a beautiful day!
