Good friends

Visiting with good friends, Carol and Ron. Yes and again we all seem to enjoy visiting over food. We stopped in a cute little town north of Sac. called Winters. The cafe is Steady Eddie's.

Mendocino Ca

Mendocino is a picturest little town on the northern coast of Ca. A haven for artistic people. And liberal views.
Several waters towers dot the landscape in town

Eureka Ca

We had heard about the Somoa Cookhouse for several years. So this time we made a point of stopping for lunch. This cookhouse was used for the mill workers and they still serve meals family style...all you can eat!














It's a museum within the restaurant. Great pictures and tools line the walls.
Beautiful coastline in northern Ca.

Winchester Bay

Sept 24-Oct 4th. Great times again at Winchester Bay on the coast of Oregon. The Roving Rods sure put on a good rally. The Boomers were certainly well represented, I think there were nine(three at next table).
A few of us gals getting ready to pick crab. The crabs are donated for all,
cooked and picked by volunteers then kept in coolers until distributed for the pot luck cooking.

















Here's one of the two we caught. It was said "not a very good year"

Art projects

Having fun painting. Keeps me off my feet and out of trouble.

A picture to remember!

The unbelievable saga continues. The height of fashion. On the right foot is the oh so stunning large black boot to heal(some day)the pulled tendon. The left now sports a somewhat smaller version as it is so tired from supporting all the weight. The crutches to balance and relieve pressure and then the yes you spotted it. The sexy sports model WHEELCHAIR! It(along with Jim) get me to the pool. The summer of 2009 will be unforgettable!

Grandpa's Camp

We have a Grandma's camp each summer. All five grand kids come for one week. I plan craft projects and other activities to keep us busy. Well this year I am off my feet due to a pulled tendon. So not wanting to cancel , we changed it to Grandpa's week and he took over cooking , cleaning, and water activities. GO GRANDPA! It was a fun week, laying around on the couch, I got to play games and do some crafts which was a nice change from TV and reading. We sure enjoyed another great week with our grand kids.

Boomer Mini Rang In Manson

The group on our Mardi Gras Day.

We found a place to seat eighteen people. The Apple Cup is an old time restaurant in Chelan, thats has specials four nights a week in the bar. Wednesday is steak night. For six dollars a dinner one can't expect too too much, but the company well made up for that.

The next day saw us touring the local wineries. We have about a dozen in the Chelan, Manson area. We really didn't, (couldn't) do that many!

Manson Mini Rang

The Boomer gals all decked out for our Mardi Gras Day! Margie, Patsy, Kay, Elinore, Jenny, Diane, Dianne and Diane.

We had a great Boomer Mini Rang in Manson Wa. We had collected so many beads last winter in Louisiana that we HAD to have a Mardi Gras Party! Jim organized the day. We had a fun bicycle parade with the neighbors decorating their wheels, some even went all out with wearing costumes.

Our neighbor Heidi and Jim ready to toss beads.

Here's the Boomers having margaritas before the big meal. Jim had spent days making jambalaya and gumbo. It was a great success!!!!

Baker's Manson Visit

We had a great four days having Jim's son Jeff' & family visit, our daughter in law, Laura along with our two oldest granddaughters, Winnie and Abby. Each year we return it's hard to believe how much bigger the kids have grown. Height is especially amazing for me, only being five foot. This kids are over five inches taller than me! Wow I just didn't get the right vitamins or something.
The top picture is Winnie, beside that is our annual neighborhood yard sale.
