What I've Been Doing

First we went camping on the McKenzie River in Oregon.
This is the view from our campsite. So beautiful.


There are many rafters and kayakers on the river. We
actually saw one guy fall out of his kayak and it went on
down the river and so did he...we didn't hear any bad news
so figure he got around the bend to slow water and was
rescued by his buddy.



Then we moved on to Eagle Crest in Redmond, OR. This
is the full moon from our deck.



Our place is on the Deschutes river...another lovely view.





Driving home over Mt. Hood we see this kind of landscape
that reminds me of the old westerns where the Indians
would all be on horseback at the top of the ridge.





Further toward home the trees are lining the road and
Mt. Hood peeks out in all her glory!





And one of my favorite sights is the runaway truck ramp.
First of all, there was so much traffic that a real runaway
truck would have run over someones car. Second, I have
no idea why the young lady in the VW decided to pull in
there but she was only a couple cars ahead of us. Looked
like she may have decided to turn around.......hope no trucks
were on their way.

We enjoyed both trips but are glad to be back home.

Hope your summer is going well,

Good Vacation

My husband and I spent the last week in central Oregon.
Many people see Oregon as plush and green and hilly.
Central Oregon is a high dessert. Our weather would be 31
overnight and 70+ during the day. I found some great things
at thrift stores in the area and then I saw the flier for "Junk

Between Us Girls" My luck was super because the sale was
the weekend I was there!!!!
It was set up at the home of a fellow junker that
I have "followed" for years in the Redmond, OR.
area. Lisa had a space in an antique mall that I just
loved and then she moved into her own garage, so I
had visited there, too.




So, I get out of my car and the first booth I see is our
very own local, Julie, of Kindred Roses!! How great is that??





This was a super fun sale. I was limited on what I could
buy because my car was already full of other "stuff".






This is Lisa's garage made over into The Back Porch. It
is very cute!!



Peggy is the other half of JBUGs and this bed was in her
booth.






More fun things.

And more....... I did manage to get enough that I had to

make two trips to my car. It was so great to see Julie

and she will be at Farm Chicks and Barn House. WOW!

So, for me it was a perfect vacation. My husband golfed

and I junked and the weather was beautiful! And my sweetie

and I had fun together, too. (well, when I just read that last

sentence it sounded like husband and sweetie were two

different people...they are the same..)

I have more to tell you about but that will be soon,
