Oregon Scenery


I took these pictures of Mt. Hood when I was at a doctor's appointment up at the medical school in Portland





I love it when the fields turn gold in the summer.


One of my old boyfriends was instrumental in the development of the railroad near here.


Coming out of the tunnel on the way home from Portland.


We saw these birds driving home from church along the beach.



The flock took flight because a dog came running up the beach. I think they are sandpipers.


It was high tide so the sand wasn't very wet and we didn't have much beach left to drive on.


DeWayne said this is the trail that leads from near our house to the beach.

The Kids go to Las Vegas and Tiffany is on Vacation!

Getting ready to go to the airport.

Hurry up Ryder and get your jacket and shoes on!


What a cute kid!


Is it all going to fit in this little car Tiffany rented to take the kids to the airport?


Racer needs his shoes on, too.


Pause and pose for a picture.


OK -- One kid loaded.


Ryder is ready.


You look cute Rhiannon. Have fun in Las Vegas. I will miss you!


Well Tiffany has been camping at Spruce Run up highway 26. She met Adam a couple of days after the kids left and they have been together every day since. On this day they came and cleaned out Tiffany's car and washed hers, Dad's and my cars. She has also been working at the pool as usual.


Here are some candid photos of them.




















Polishing DeWayne's truck.


Drying my suburban.


Does it pass inspection?








The kids will be back in one week just in time for birthday parties for Rhiannon and Ryder who missed their birthdays because of the trip to Las Vegas. Also they will have to get ready for school and Ryder starts Kindergarten. Rhiannon will be in the 4th grade. Tiff is out of work for August and September because a boiler broke down and the pool will be closed.
