Indian Summer in Prineville


Happy Saturday to everyone,
We are having such nice weather after the snow of two weeks ago. It is hard to believe that it is almost Nov. It is suppose to be in the 70's today and tomorrow. Lee and I have been busy spreading gravel on the property around the house before the rains come. We have spread about 40 yards so far. The little tractor is pretty handy moving the rock around. (dads toy)
I was in Portland for 3 days last week with my folks. My dad thought that he had a sinus infection and was being treated for that for over a month. Come to find out he has a growth in his nose. They hope to be able to shrink the growth with steroid spray but if that doesn't work they will have to remove it. He is going to have a cat scan to find out exactly what it is next week. The on going saga of Riley......The vet called back and said Riley is allergic to grass and cat skin!!!! The vet didn't think the cat would bother Riley as long as he was an outside cat. Riley had the problem before we got the cat. The grass now that is another matter. We have always said that Riley was a very special dog.
The grandsons are both growing sooooo big!!! They are over 7mo old and I don't know where the time has gone. I am off on Monday to make applesauce with Shannon and Porter. This should be fun. I used to make applesauce for the boys when they were little, time really does fly!!!
Well, that's about it for now. I am going to post a couple of pics of Dane and Porter. More next time.
Dane and Bones checking out the toysLooks like Dane is having a great time in the sink



Porter and his toys in the tub.What a grown up little man Porter is.

Happy Birthday to my honey!!!


Yes, today is the big day for Lee. 66 and still treading water. They say that with age comes wisdom, but after seeing him on the roof of the house, I am beginning to wonder. We woke up to a very nice day. Sunshine and blue sky abounds with temps in the mid 60's.
Riley has been limping and licking his paws for the last 2 weeks and today we finally took him to the vets and he said that he has and infection in his ear and his pads are infected. The vet thinks that it may be allergies so he took blood to send out for allergy testing in Colorado and gave us two kinds of pills and stuff for the ear. Needless to say that with the stock market going down the vet prices just go up, up, up. With the boys gone we have only one child, (Riley) so you have to take care of them.(we love you Riley)

Friday morning we woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the ground. It was so pretty. We still had our summer furniture out, needless to say summer is over!!!

We spent a couple of days smoking salmon and boy is it good. Lee plated some so everyone could
have a look.

Well, that's about all for now. Hope all is well with everyone out there. Have a great week.


Lee, Sheri and Riley oh, Kitty too

Frost on the Pumpkin it must be October!!

Good Wednesday Morning to everyone!!!!!

We woke up to lots of frost this morning. It's a good thing that we picked all the tomatoes, including the green ones yesterday. The mountains all have a dusting of white on their heads and the weatherman says maybe tomorrow WE could even see a few flakes.

My husband the fisherman, is now home for the season. Fishing on the Columbia wasn't good for him, but on the Sandy River is was outstanding. I will include a few pictures later, not bragging of course. We had Drake over the weekend while Sam,Shannon and Porter had a weekend at the beach. I cleaned out the defrosted the freezer yesterday and realized we have to eat more because it is still full. We are sooooo blessed!
October is Birthday month for Shannon and Lee. Happy Birthday to you both!!! Sisters Fall Festival is this weekend, Glenda, Sherry, Beryl and I are all going for our yearly trip on Sat and then home to meet the guys for Pizza and cake. Glenda makes the most outstanding cakes in the world!!!
The deer are still visiting daily and I have included another picture. A little multi colored kitty has decided that this is the place to be. Needless to say I couldn't help but feed her, so she has been here two days now. (outside of course) Riley isn't any to happy to have someone else stealing the show. Time will tell if she is just out prowling or really needs a home. That's about all for now. More next week.
Sheri, Lee and Riley
