Some new peeps!!  We like em...



Took a walk along the river.  It was a beautiful day.







This is locally called 'paddle' boarding.
It was about 60 degrees, but the water had to be freezing.









We went hiking with this awesome family.  The kids were great and the mom and dad were awesome.  Dad cooked curried chicken.  Unbelievable...should have taken a picture of it!







The river had to be freezing.  It comes right off the mountains.



We went back north to the Gorge.  Decided to take the mountain road...
Need I say more.


It just kept getting worse...


and worse...


even a little worserer...   :)







See the guard rail.  The snow was well above the car.






These are containers for the fruit.  We saw rows and rows of them.  This summer they will be full of apples, pears, blueberries, and cherries.  Looks almost like a building, doesn't it.








More plastic bins...









June always talked about 'Hot Buttered Rum'.  Monica had to try it.


This is hot buttered rum.


Didn't really care for it...although it was very "rummy"  :)



We are doing good.  Sorry the pictures aren't very good.  Hope to have something
more interesting soon.

We are settling into the routine.  We both love it.

My big NEWS!!! I passed the Oregon driver's test finally.  It only took me three
tries.  How frustrating!  Monica passed it the first time.  I am not a good
test taker.  Missed it by 1 the 2nd time.  You can only miss 8 and I missed 9.

Monica's big NEWS!!!  Her and a bunch of girls went snow-shoeing on Mt  Bachelor.  She said it
was hilarious.


I wish I could have gone.  

Take care all.  Til next time...

  1. Thank you for continuing to Blog. We really appreciate it and enjoy seeing all the pictures. We're anxious to make our trip west. Chuck's Mom has been in the hospital (heart Blockage). She's out after being in there for 2 weeks. Another reason to make this trip. We're enjoying our CO's visit this week. In 2 more weeks we have our 2 day Assembly. And of course the Memorial coming up. We have 23 auxiliary pioneers this month, about half of the congregation. Take care. We Love ya, Chuck and Sharon
