Fish in the Sandy River

Hi Everyone,

Well, it's only 2 days to TGIF !!! The last weekend in Sept and Lee is back on the Sandy River fishing again!!! He says that there are so many fish in the river,but not many of them are bitting. They raised the limit to 3 fish a day not including little jack salmon. The count last night was 6 fish. Looks like we will have Salmon for the winter and spring.

Both little grandsons are not feeling to well, but at 6mo I guess that is to be expected. Dane has thrush and Porter has his first cold. They are just growing in leaps and bounds!!! I finally got my pickles done last evening. I am a little out of practice and a little late getting to them so next year I will just have to make more. Funny how when you are almost out of them you just can't seem to get enough of them. I am off to a fish and meat pressure canning class tomorrow so I had better get my stuff together. Hope everyones week is good!!!

Two nice does eating in the front yard, and boys the answer is still no shooting!

Porter in the tub, he just loves the bath. He just turned 6 mo. also.

Good Monday morning to you all!!!!

Well, It's Monday morning and the sun is shinning. It is suppose to be a hot one today about 91 degrees. Lee has caught two more fish and would like to do that again today. I have been without him for over a week now and am ready to have him home.( did I say that???) While I was gone and Lee was at Sandy the deer came in and had a feast on my flowers!!. There is always next year. Last evening I went out to the garage and low and behold there was a 4 point buck eating out of the bird food sack!!! Needless to say I interupted that and outside there were 4 other deer. (no boys you can't hunt here) I think we have become the Houston Deer Sanctuary because they all bedded down in the field below the house for the evening. I think it is just so cool!!! That's about all for now. I'm off to find cucumbers to pickle. More soon.
Wishing everyone a GREAT DAY!

Some of us are back home again!!!

It has been a while since the last post. I have been in Whistler with my friends from Canada for a Girls Weekend. We had way to much fun. I will post a couple of pictures later in the blog. I was in Portland to visit my Mom and Dad. My sister Debbie and brother Harley and wife Toni came up for my mom ct scan and we all had a nice visit. Mom celebrated her birthday on the 3rd of Sept. (she would kill me if I told everyone that she is now 84 years and doing great!!! ) I left Portland on Friday morning and spent 4 days in Whistler. What a blast we all had. We did the zip line and we were told that we could reach speeds of up to 50 mph on the one line that was 220 feet long. We had great weather. Lee left for Sandy on the 1st of Sept. and is staying with our neighbor Dorothy Ayers. He has had 4 nice fish so far and would like to catch a few more. He has had a dry spell for the last 6 days!!! Maybe his luck will have changed today. I am at Sam and Shannons today and tomorrow getting a little Nana time!. Porter isn't sure just how happy he is to see me. I hope to get him to smile at me and not cry this time. Enjoy the pictures and I will send more after Lee gets back from fishing.

Here is a picture of the first evening with Edna, Kate,Sandi and Myself
