Friday we drove over to Vernonia Oregon for
The Mountain Man Rendevous. All weekend
they were camped out having fun recreating the past
wearing circa clothing and shooting black powder rifles.
While Russell shot at targets, I sat peaceably reading at the campsite.
I took a few photos of the little pond nearby...
The cattails by the pond....
and grasses blowing in the wind.....
Saturday I drove down to Neahkahnie Mountain tocelebrate John and Amy's 22nd Anniversary,
Laura's 47th Birthday and Zan's upcoming move to Florida
(only for 18 months or so...)
Here's a shot of Laura and Zan enjoying sister time...
A shot of Saturday's dinner...lovely time
Sunday was the big party- a lot of good friends, neighbors, and relatives showed up and everyone
had a great time.
Laura and Bill brought 100 avocados from their orchardWe had them arranged all over the house...
One of the many decks-it was a gorgeous day.

Dear Snappy: Looks lovely the time at the Mountain Man convention, and the toes are so beautiful! Makes one want to move to Oregon! I wish! I guess you would know this; that Oregon was names after Oregano! Is this a folktale? I am not sure! Did a lot of hippies retire there! My hub wants to retire in BC. I think I have relatives in Portland. Someday...lovely pics! Those are sweet pea with the avocados! I recognize them! Wasnt Northern Exposure filmed in parts of Oregon to simulate Alaska? I think so...:)Lovely!
