Sunday - back home

Before leaving Diamond lake we took one last bike ride along the lake. I loved this picture of some fishermen out on the placid waters.

The trip home was relatively short - only about 2 and a half hours. There was a tremendous amount of smoke in the air as we approached Bend due to the fires at Warm Springs.

When we arrived home a brief thunderstorm helped to clear the air.

Tonight we are sitting in Poppie's garden (a restaurant) listening to members of the Eugene opera. Sipping wine and munching on a platter of antipasta. Who said retirement was boring!

Diamond Lake

Frank and I are enjoying our camping stay at Diamond Lake. Today we joined our friends, the Thodes, for an eleven mile ride around the lake. Brad took this picture of Frank and me standing lakeside when we stopped to admire Mt Thielsen in the background. Lovely day!

Visiting the Southern California Beavers

We had a ball visiting the kids and spending some quality time with Lizzie. She is walking everywhere and loves to climb everything! Lei has her hands full just keeping tabs on Lizzie whereabouts. First thing up from her nap - and she will bring you her shoes - she likes to be on the go.

Lizzie and Grandpa got on famously - can you tell he is smitten? You should see Lizzie dance to music - she loves to shake her head and turn circles.

Dad and Luke worked on some shelves for the front room. Now at last they are able to get all the pottery up off the floor and safely out of Lizzie's reach. They also managed to get in a round of golf in celebration of Luke's b-day. This is picture of Lizzie at lunch - what you can't see is all the food she is throwing on the ground. Bogie, however, loved to sit beneath her chair as he scored some really nice chicken morsels.
