Week 7 - Oregon City - February 16, 2026 - February 22, 2026 

Monday, Febraury 16th ...my mother's birthday.  She would have been 110 years old!  I wish we could talk now as I have lots of questions I'd like to ask her.   I guess I'll just have to wait.

Monday was also President's Day (but I didn't celebrate Trump's birthday), and there was no school.  It was a perfect opportunit to take Eric and Jude out for their Christmas present.  They'd never been to the End of lther Oregon Trail Museum....so off we went.  Theu were real troopers and did all of the "hands on" activities.

Packing the wagon with all of the necesities for the cross the country journey.

Played a game of chess (after a hard day on the trail)

Made dolls out of scraps of fabric.  And...in the lower part of the photo you can see the two candles theyu had dipped.

We went to A&W for lunch...oops, no photo.

We had a couple of really cold nights where the temp was below freezing.  We defrosted both freezers, and one can see a bit of frost left over up on the roof.

Dad is getting the flower bed in tip-top shape.

Warren came over and helpled prune (severly prune) the cherry tree.

On Sunday, Jude gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting.
