Trip to Three Devils (and my favorite rivers)

Seems that as each summer is ending,  I have this need to get down on the Middle Fork of the Clearwater River as well as the Lochsa and the Selway.  Love these rivers!  They're kind of like the blood in my veins, as the rush and flow of the water seem to pump new life into me.

Tree Limb Coming Down--T-i-m-b-e-rrr!!!

This limb had a split all the way through so that you could see daylight right through it.  Thought of buying a chainsaw and cutting it down myself,  but so glad Don asked Roger to come over and take care of it.   His expertise helped make  quick project of it.

P.S.  Thanks, Debby, for reminding me to get outside and take pictures of this project as it was in process . . . made it just in time.

Sunflowers in Cheney

Such beauties this time of year (August 2016).

Daniel's New Place

Daniel loves his shorter commute to work each day now from Redmond.  We enjoyed a nice Thai lunch together in the very quiet and beautiful downtown area.  This place is just two blocks from his apartment, lucky guy.  Delicious!

Visiting Jake, Lyndsey, and Calvin (this was August 4, 5, and 6)

Sure is comfortable at Jake and Lyndsey's house. . . we always feel welcome and loved.  It's nice that Lyndsey's parents Lyn and George always come by for a brief visit when we're there.  As Don said about Lyn after experiencing them come to visit at Jake and Lyndsey's house when we were there earlier this year, "She's just a breath of fresh air, isn't she?"  True.

Calvin as snug as a bug with his dad.

First Morning

Caitlin outside by her tree in her new house with the blue door.

James is so easy going about the whole deal.

Trina and Tori are so great at getting things done.

Love how this picture looks like Christ could be sitting right on those steps of theirs.

Home sweet home!

New House for Ben, Britan, Caitlin, and James

Here's what was happening as I drove in the evening of September 31.

Yep, Brittan drove this monster.

Robert and Ben getting the beds set up.

Caitlin enjoying dinner and a movie.

Tori is so good with her grandkids.

It's been a long, full day, but these two are still smiling.
