Weekend Post with Photos !!!!!

Well, we left last Thursday night for G'dale. Our plan was to not have to work on projects, but to just relax and have a nice time together. Papa had worked 73 hours last week, he is suppose to be part time, Ha!!!! We wanted to go dancing Saturday night, and go on a long drive on Sunday or Monday into Eastern Oregon. Our plans were not to happen, but we had a nice time together anyway. :)

We got to G'dale Thursday night and slept in without an alarm clock, nice. We always have our morning coffee outside and watch the deer. Friday afternoon, we just relaxed out on the back deck, had a few drinks and talked and listened to each other all evening.

Saturday, we worked out in the shop alittle bit, but no project we had to get done, just some sorting and cleaning. Then we got showered and dressed up and drove to the Yakima Valley to go dancing!!! Ya, didn't happen. We got to our fun place, and it was boarded up!!! They had closed it down!! It seems we just find a new place and it gets closed down!!! We drove to the other places we use to go, but they were still closed down too! All four of them! About 10, we decided to head home, THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON!!! Papa drove fast so that we could get home before the car died! There is no phone service for 50 miles over the pass, so we really needed to get home before it quit. We made it!

Sunday, papa drove the old 1967 Ford pickup to town to order the alternator, it wouldn't be into town until Tuesday, so our long drive was out of the question at that point. :) Sunday, we just piddled around the property, sitting outside in the evening, drinking and watching the deer. There were three deer that just hang around the cabin all day and night. I say that they will sleep in the shop in the winter.

Monday, we decided was a work day, so Papa put on the roofing to his shop extention, while I sewed new curtains for the cabin living room, and sewed a quilt for Asa. I had made one for Valentina a couple of weeks ago.

Tuesday, papa went into town to pick up the new alternator, we installed it on the car, packed up and came back to Vancouver.

We had a nice time together, but was glad to come back and see the girls and kids too. Papa is back to work, we are back to the real world. It was good to be with the kids again today.

I had to get back for a mamogram and ultra sound today because I had found a breast lump two weeks ago, but after the mamo and ultra sound today, it is not cancer, so thank you God!!!

So here now are the pictures......

Valentina likes to get in Papa's Corvette and play around. She played in it as we packed up the car. One of us stands close to her so she will not fall out.

She was not happy at all when she had to get out when we were ready to leave, poor baby girl, Papa and I had to go in her house with her so she would stop crying.

We stopped by to tell Asa and Trina goodbye also.

Asa loves papa's Corvette too, here he is using it as a prop for his modeling shot.

Good bye girls and grandkids, we will be back!!!!

Dressed up to go dancing, self portrait. I love papa when he dresses up with his hat, buckle and boots!!!!! Even after 40 years of marriage he still looks good!!!

The tame deer.

Old curtains.

The new curtains I sewed for the four windows, and I love them! I had the white lace for 10 years at least!!!

Life is Great!!!!
