Sept. 23rd - 25th busy weekend......

Well this last weekend was a busy one. Jon has worked all summer and I haven't got a chance to spend much time with him. His last day in Oregon before going back to school was Friday the 23rd. and he had the day off, so he says to me, "how about going fishing".....hmmm......"YEP" says I. Cody doesn't go to school on Friday's and he said that he wanted to tag along. Lorelei had to work so just us boys headed for the coast.
We were mainly after salmon but just on a hunch, Jon and I threw in (1) crab pot, as it turned out, it's a good thing we did! We had an awesome day on the water. Temperature was in the 70's, almost no wind. Great day with two awesome young men.

Cody at the controls!

On Saturday it was off to Seattle Pacific University. Jon loaded his little Nissan Sentra and we piled the rest of the stuff in the Camry and North we went! Cody rode with Jon and Lorelei rode with me. We unloaded and helped Jon get settled in.

Lorelei thought about hiding out in the closet?

It was another bitter sweet moment driving away and leaving Jon at college. It's awesome that he is out on his own, making his way in the world but of course it is tough on Mom and Dad having an empty spot in the house.

On Saturday night Adam came to the house for a fishing trip on Sunday. Him and I got up about 4 a.m. and headed out the door about 5. We traveled light and just took the car over. We walked in by flashlight to our favorite fishing hole. We fished all morning without a bite! Oh well, it was another great day outside on the water spent with my son.

Lorelei has been fighting a cold the past week or so. She has been working steady since the new school year began.
Cody was the leader of the "See You at the Pole" for Amity this year. There were only a handful of people that showed up. I am very proud of his efforts! He brought his guitar and had song handouts for everyone.

That's about all for now.

End of summer......

With the Labor Day weekend coming up, we thought about doing something fun. Hmmmm......maybe a camping trip? Lucky for us we just happen to have a campsite in our backyard! Some friends came over and we had a great time. We camped out for just Friday night.

Cody played us some music.

Tyler and Collin cook a late night snack while Lorelei and Cassandra look on.


In the morning we cooked a full breakfast of eggs, potatoes, bacon and sausage....

On Saturday we went to Ashley and Micah's wedding! Below Jon and Corina having fun with the photo booth.

Cody started back to school on Monday. He is an 8th grader this year!

Around the homestead, the garden has done fairly well. We are getting lots of tomatoes and cucumbers. Our blueberries have done awesome! We are still picking lots of blackberries and the apples and pears are ripening.

I failed miserably to complete several chores that were on my list. I did get the roof on the shop coated and I hope to finish up the block wall project this weekend. The only problem is.......it's salmon season! I'm sure that most of the remainder of my projects will take a back seat to fishing over the next couple of months.

Thats about all for now.
