Week 48 - Oregon City - 17 November - 23 November 2025

I did a lot of cleaning up in the woods.  In Sector 5, I pulled up all of the maple branches and fir boughs which had fallen, cut off side branches and made piles ready to pull up to the house and to be turned into firewood.

I also worked in Far West Sector where the big maple had  fallen over the spring.  I need to keep working on the tree so that Steve Smith can come and help me cut it up into firewood size pieces.

The workers next door finished the fence.  I took this photo with early morning sunlight.

At the entrance to the development, a sign has been put up along with some banners/flags flapping in the wind and some cutesy plants to make it look inviting.   Some nice maples were planted, and we don't know how far west alongside the fence they will be planted.

Friday began with a spectacular sunrise.

I finally got tired of the pile of branches I have brought up from the woods, and, unfortunately, just left in a pile. It was time to make the pile go away.  The pieces are now in the basement or in a box (ready for Sutton Lake) under the canopy.

Bruce ands Vonda came up for the weekend.  Paul has been set apart as the Second Counselor in the Bishopric, and Bruce cam up for the occasion.  The best thing is that he wanted the old disc that has been knocking around here for about 40 years.  The troops loaded it up.

And.... it's off..... to Utah to live on Bruce's farm in LaSalle, Utah.

Saturday night we went to Abby's last performance of "The Addams Family".  Those kids sang their hearts out!  Abby was the mother of the young man who wanted to marry  Wednesday.  Honestly, I didn't understand what was going on....I never watched the tv program when I was a kid.

Sunday - we celebrated Gretchen's birthday....singing and cake as usual.
