Week 3 - Oregon City - January 13- January 19, 2025

Sunday of this week marks the one month anniversary of our Highlander!!!

Holland did not what she was served for dinner

Paul's actual birthday.  Bev made a tray of brownies!

On Friday I went on a hike with Bev, Jessica Whitney and Jen Isom.  We went to Wahclella Falls which  40 miles east of Portland on I 84.  It was a nice hike - not hard but nice and scenic.  I figure we did about 2.5 miles altogether.

For lunch we went to Cascade Locks, intending to eat at the East Wind cafe but the lobby was closed.....so we went down the road to Thunder mountain Brewing.  The menu was interesting...really different from what you'd expect.  I ordered Cambodian Curry which turned out to be delicious.

Friday evening we went to Corvallis to another gymnastics meet - this time with San Jose State Univ.  OUS soundly defeated them - taking all three places in all events.  Jade did really won...as usual.  She is so much better than anyone else.

Evan came over on Saturday and used the blower to remove the leaves from the roof of the barn.  I was really thankful for his help.

I finally finished painting the polyurethane coating on the window frames ;upstairs in the western Room.  I only have the nail holes to finish....and, of course, I have the three windows in the Mr Hood Room and the Mt St Helen room.  

Zelensky likes to come upstairs to help me.  He was inspecting the roof while I finished painting.

It was a cold week.  Next week is supposed to be colder with a high of only 47 and a low low of 27.  I really don't like cold weather anymore.  I think Kazakhstan ruined winter for me.

Tomorrow Trump will become president.  How awful.  I dread listening to him for the next four years.  He was such a prick before and will bre wore this time around
