Yard sales...07/29/11...11am...75°...Sunny

Rudbeckia
A most beautiful day here in Wallowa County...All is quiet as the annual kiddy parade is over for another year...Kids from all over the county, build floats, dress up, ride their bikes or horses, and parade through Joseph's main street...prizes are given and everyone has a great time...I took in two yard sales this morning, didn't buy a thing, just looked and said, "Nope I don't need that."...Back home I watered for the neighbors and then watered the flowers on our deck...Herb has been watering and mowing most of the morning, and will soon join me to relax on the deck...

Cienna in her Junior Lifeguard uniform
Got this photo from Bobi, via email...Ci has completed the first two of fifty volunteer hours, that she must complete to be a Junior Life Guard...I ask her what she liked best about this so far and she said, "Getting to sit on the lifeguard tower with my instructor, I've wanted to do that forever, Oma."...For those of you who don't know, Cienna started swimming at four years old and joined the splash team when she turned six...She loves the water and swims like a fish!

Ci and her Mom are going to the Sock Summit today, a marathon day of knitting at the Portland Coliseum where yarns and wool in all stages will be for sale... Both Bobi and Ci are avid knitters.

I spent a delightful evening last night at the home of friends, Pat and Brian Adelhardt...They were having a family and friends gathering at their lovely home overlooking Wallowa Lake...I got to visit with people from Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Oregon, and also with their son Bryce and grandson Mason from Maryland...It was warm enough to enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres on the deck...Each of the families are taking turns cooking dinners and last night we were treated to  bbq'd pork loin, salads, and banana pudding for dessert...What a fun way to spend a beautiful summer evening...Thanks Pat and Brian...~OWAV:)
