Helping Grandpa

Duane uses sprinkler pipes to irrigate the fields during the summer.  He loves it when he gets help.  All the grandkids helped and made it go so fast.

Shed by Duane

We had a change in the Oregonian in Pendleton so we decided to downsize the ‘shed’.  The warehouse we were in had electricity and heat but for just Sunday Only we decided against that expense.  So Duane build us a little shed that we put on some property a couple blocks from the old one.

He built it on a 16 foot trailer so we could take it up to the spot.  We drove up the road…and it was amazing to watch how he got it off the trailer and put it right where we wanted it.  Thanks Duane !!

Some fun time with grandpa and his yearbooks…046

We went to Corvallis to watch Lindsy and Ben’s kids while they took a quite get away trip.  It was probably the hottest weekend ever in Corvallis, so we spent a lot of time outside with squirt guns, swimming pool and popsicles.  We had a pizza/movie night too.

On our way down to Corvallis we went through Heppner (because I have never been there) and Bend to enjoy the scenery. Love the trip when you are not in a hurry.
