I would say we "finished" the concrete walkways around the house this week. All gravel is smoothed and raked, and this week we replanted wet and sooooo heavy rectangular pieces of sod along the front sidewalk where the excavator had made deep track marks.
Our friends from Kazakhstan visited us. Wilfred and Sharla Taylor were our Humanitarian missionary equivalents in Almaty. They came a month after we arrived in Astana. They live in Mesa, Arizona and were visiting Friends and family in Utah and then came to Oregon to visit friends and...us.
We went to the End of the Oregon Trail Museum
A courtyard is composed of bricks which honor contributors. This brick for Mrs Donaldson from whom Jessica and Ryan purchased their property. Turns out Mrs Donaldson is actually a cousin with a common grandfather born in 1606. A brick for her dauchger, Ann Donaldson Wilcox, is just above hers.
Here is the monument marking the Terminus of the Oregon Trail.
We rode the 'famous' elevator to the lower part of the city
And visited the 'famous' coin and hobby shop that has so much interesting and absolutely necessary stuff.
Then we walked along the Bluff which is officially the McLoughlin Promenade and went all the way to the Willamette Falls waterfall which was in full flood stage.
Aunt Nancy's birthday celebration was on Saturday at her house. Almost everybody was there. We got to meet Brenden and Pamela's baby girl, Sloane, for the first time.
This is where the little kids enjoyed their goodies
Sloane and Holland are "cousin buddies"...and Janie photo bombed the picture.
Upon returning from Nancy's we ended up at Jessica's where we celebrated Dad's and Ann's birthday.
Then it was off the the Stake Center for the Easter Devotional in which Warren was singing, and Bev, Jess, and I were playing in the orchestra. It was a very good program.
Another good week.
