Oregon Coast Trip June 2009

A scene between Sutherlin and Reedsport.

Winchester Bay Inn where we spent the first night.

Looking from our motel toward the town.
Much has changed since Daddy spent so much time there.

This Fifth Wheel is now the office.
It is parked in the spot Daddy always used
but is closer to the fence.

Another view of the office unit.

A bit of lawn where Daddy parked his "summer home".

The oyster beds. Looking out over
the harbor from "Chicken Hill."

Umpqua River Lighthouse.
The Coast Guard housing is on the same
grounds so no visitors are allowed.

A close up of Frank at the lighthouse.

A peaceful view of fishing boats at rest.

More boats.

We stopped here on the way to Lincoln City.

We weren't able to get a good view of the
lighthouse but behind us was this unusual bridge.

Bob and Betty Hough the morning we left.
Thanks for your hospitality!

Country Living At It's Best

Looking out the front window we can see
the silhouette of a deer. A frequent visitor.

Even the dog, Quito, enjoys a romp in the snow.

Looking to the sky, beyond the tree, you can see those snowflakes
coming down. When they're this size we call them "goosefeathers."

More goosefeathers. You don't want it to
snow very long when those flakes are this size!

Obviously warmer weather and sunny days ahead.

The wild visitors are back. There are usually three or four in a bunch.
Two are visible here although only one is showing his face!

It's hard to get them to pose for the picture.
It would be nice if they'd all look at the camera at the same time.

Did someone say drought? Doesn't look like it here.
This is a welcome sight on our property.

This is where our girls spent many happy hours during
hot summer days when they were growing up here.
Now the grandchildren are making memories here too.

After Christmas Activities with Grandkids

Baking cookies in Oma's kitchen.

Ummmm.......Hobbits or Hogworts???
Nope, two lovely granddaughters in new lounge robes.

Three more in new lounge robes.

Can you do this? Hope the pocket survives.

Is Granddaddy a gift?

Loving Granddaddy and happy grandbuddies.
