Summer 2010

WOW, where did summer go? I blinked and it was over. We started out the summer by a GREAT camping trip to McIver Park in Clackamas, Oregon on the Clackamas River with Peggy, Ryan, Elly, Jerry and myself and our motor home along with Peg's two room tent. Ryan caught his first fish, then 5 more and we cooked and ate them. He was so excited! Have had the grandchildren out to our house several times and that is always so much fun. Ryan has made a hideout in our woods, Jerry put up our TP and riding the little ATV we have is always fun for them. The end of July Jerry had a bike accident involving a dog nipping at his heels which caused him to swerve and lose control of the bike and he went over the handle bars and onto the road. He shattered his elbow, injured his arm, had to have surgery with screws and a wire and is still recovering with physical therapy. That put an end to any traveling to the lakes nearby with the motor home. And that is where we are presently. He is better and is able to drive the motor home some, so we are planning a trip to the Oregon Coast next weekend with our neighborhood friends with motor homes.
The grandchildren are growing like little weeds and are such a joy to us. Seems like we never can see them enough, but school and life in general does get in the way!! So glad they are all nearby and we take the opportunities as they come.
