Oregon City, Oregon- Week 24 - June 14 to June 20, 20-21

Started the week with getting the second Covid-19 dose into Magnus and Archer got his first.  Went to Walgreens, and it was pretty simple - much simpler than when we went to the Convention Center.

Magnus likes to cook.  He had watched a video of making chicken waffles using a drumstick with the bone in.  After a series of pretty traumatic missteps, he finally got a "finished" one which was really tasty.  We tried them the next day for breakfast but put a slice of ham in the waffle rather than chicken.....bacon would be good too.

While working in Sector 1, I noticed a very tall and big fir tree that I'd never noticed before.  It is a Grand Fir - identified because there are still branches on the ground from the ice storm.

The boys helped me Finish Sector 1...but I have gone ahead and started pulling and burning branches on the  Western Slopes.   need to get the branches up and out of the way so I can spray the nettles and blackberries.

Magnus helped Dad change the blades on the Gravely

Magnus and Tyler wanted to go fishing down at the Cove (Lagoon???)  

Magnus and Jude explored the West Dump and found many treasures.

On Friday we drove to Seattle to attend the Temple Sealing of Hannaj Cantrell (one of our missionaries from Kazakhstan).  A bunch of photos follow.  

Our first time in 30 years stopping at the Almond Rocca factory in Tacoma.

Pike Street Market and a Chinese Café for lunch

Queen Ann's Park where the Space Needle and monorail and other attractions are located.

Kid's park

Dinner afterwards

Jude was baptized Saturday evening.  Our family made up the entire "congregation".

We did our first Find A Grave photos in months.

Sunday was Father's Day.  Jessica and Bev put on a perfect summer picnic dinner - chicken-potato salad-watermelon-pie- deviled eggs, etc.  I gave Dad five shirts to replace the ones he has that are worn on the collar.  Bev and Jessica gave him a rechargeable work lamp.  Warren gave him a new wallet...I can hardly wait until I wash it along with other dirty clothes.
