6000 Mile Drive # 3












After a week in Indiana and many meaningful gatherings,  we headed for Texas.  We decided to arrive on July 4 since all the grand kids and greats would be there!  It was our joy to meet Evan and Annie for the first time! and of course the three  raunchy rangers of the Rio Grand!  Roly and Candy cranked up the food supply in the kitchen and on the patio grill!  With 95 degree weather,  most everyone spent time in the lake and the kids in a delightful backyard pool and slide. On July 4 we all had ring side seats overlooking the lake as Blake, Joel and Tyler lite up the sky with fireworks.  Everyone got in the act with sparklers!.  If this display were tried back in Oregon,  we all would have been arrested! Fire hazards go year round here!
We then headed home, spent time with friends in Colorado and our final stop with Chris and Carlon in Rocklin, California and enjoyed one of the nicest nurseries we've seen anywhere.  As we neared Oregon,  we began to wonder where our home was!  (Click on photo to enlarge)
