4th of July weekend...07/02/11...5am...50°...Sunny:)))

Remember several months ago in March when the old red barn was demolished and burned.. It made way for a new garage and changed our view immensely.  Consolation; the mountains are still there!!!

Oma's new view

Another angle

A quiet weekend for us, sittin' on the deck, lookin' at the mountains...We will have Tate for company today as Becky and John are away for the day.

Yesterday I spent the day with Pat and Angie, yardsaling...We left at 9am, hitting yard sales until we reached Lostine where the flea market was in full swing...Wandered the streets checking all the booths, then drove up the Lostine river road, enjoyed the scenery and more yardsales...Home with a car load of stuff, about 2pm...Fun, fun day.

Spent the rest of the day on the deck with Herb... about 5pm we got a call from Pam with an invite to a wiener roast at the foot of the lake with Annie and friends...So great to see Annie,   with her bubbly personality and infectious laugh...It was a "mix" of Annie's friends, fun, fun people...We shared potluck, with hotdogs and topped it off with fresh strawberry shortcake.. Nothing like a Wallowa County potluck...Home about 10pm, past our bedtime.

Chatted to Bobi yesterday, she and Cienna are keeping busy with the start of summer vacation...Cienna has started Junior lifeguard classes...after the first class she told her mom that she had been waiting for this all of her life...That girl loves the water and has also made the remark that she isn't just part fish but ALL FISH!..She will soon be 13 going into 8th grade in the fall and brought home a report card with Excellent grades... We are all so very proud of her.

Chatted with Russ this morning, he leaves for Austria tomorrow on an all expenses paid trip...Will spend a week there taking in the sights and attending a company party (LTW) along with cousins, Balin and Eban Rollins...They will also be honing their welding skills while there.

I better close as I've been at this forever this morning, hope you enjoy, as much as I enjoy doing the writing...Hugs to all ~OWAV:)))
