Onward We Go!

Halloween is past, the citizens have spoken with their votes, so onward we go.  It will be interesting

to see how the next four years go.  I hope better than the last four.  With that here are a couple of pictures of the family and how they spent Halloween. 
Porter was a policeman for Halloween and Wyatt was a pirate . Porter said that they got lots of  candy
and would save a piece for Nana and Papa.
Clint, Tanya, Kimber and Dane were hunters for Halloween and Tanya captured this nice buck.
We are having snow showers this morning.  It is so pretty up here at the lake and nice that we don't
have to go anywhere.

Fishing, Hunting and traveling Sept/Oct

Fishing was a little slow this year, but my hubby did hook this nice 32lb Chinook off the mouth of the  Sandy River. He also broke the family record for the largest fish that was held by me for 35 years. I am so proud of him he has been fishing a long time for the big one.
We had Porter and Wyatt for a few days over the fall and spent time in the garden digging potatoes. Oh yes, worms too! 
Porter and Wyatt had fun building their own Pizza.
Lee had his most eventful birthday ever this year. 70 Years Young!!!  We had a party for him with  several of our friends.  A good time way had by all. 

In Oct we were off to Montana to visit Clint, Tanya, Dane and Kimber and of course to go deer hunting.  We had a great time with the kids. I couldn't believe how much Kimber and Dane had grown since spring. We had wonderful weather when we arrived it was pretty warm with lots of
leaf  gathering to do.  Dane and Kimber are great little helpers.
Saturday morning Nana and Kimber held down the fort, while Clint,Tanya, Lee and Dane went hunting.  Lee got this nice doe right after first light.
Clint and Tanya both had buck tags and Clint was able to get this nice 4 point buck mid morning.
They had a great hunt. The next two days we were cutting up meat and making sausage.  Lee and I are so thankful that they put up with us old folks for a week. We had about 2 inches of snow while we were there but it was after the hunt.  Winter is just around the corner. That's all for now.
