Summer's here

For the three months that Oregon is sunny and warm, this is the place to live. Tami and I have a few things planned for us and the kids. First, we are going to visit the Maddens and Starks in Spo-compton. It will be a great time of feeding the crocodiles, playing halo, and sitting around the table eating! Yeah! We're very excited for the trip to catch up and see the growing babies.

Second, we would like to go to the beach and camp or stay in a beach house south of Canon Beach. We did that last year and it was great to be a few hundred yards from Rockaway beach right out the back door. Seashell hunting and playing in the water are what the kids look forward to any time they hear the word "beach".

Third, I think that we would like to go with some friends to their hometown of Wenatchee, Wa. Everyone I have ever mentioned this to has asked, "what the !%#$ are you going there for? Well, maybe not in that exact way. They do wonder why though always citing that the town is in the middle of nowhere. Have these people ever been to Bend (which would be number four on our list for summer destinations this year, except that we have nothing planned yet) it's on the same side of the cascades, in the same time zone, has golf courses, and the same tree species; I mean come on! These are the people that want to eat pasta but won't eat spaghetti. In spite of all this we are still trying to plan a trip up there.

Well that's all folks. Hope you enjoyed the update.
