Hi All

As you can see it has been a long while since any one has posted any thing on our family blog. On June 30 my Friend Peter and I went to the Oregon Coast and we went to Lincoln city,Newport and Yachats. The weather was temperature in the upper 50's blue skies and windy. We stopped at a beach between Newport and Lincoln city and it sure was hard to walk along the beach with it being so windy but it still was fun to walk along the beach. It seem when you have a nice sunny day at the Oregon coast it seems to be windy. Peter and I just spent the day there and it was a lot of fun and I love going to the beach. July 4 Peter and I were invited to some for the 4th of July block party. They lived in Tigard. At the block party they had lots of food to eat and shot off fireworks. Boy did they have the fireworks that they shot off that night. Some of the fireworks they shot were bottle rockets,skyrocket,fire crackers and different kinds of fountains just to name a few.I had a great 4th of July.July 10 and 11 I went to Central Oregon with Peter. We went to Bend and Eagle Crest which is near Redmond and the reason we went was because on July 11 it was Peter's mom 80th birthday and she was having a party. We left on Friday July 10 in the late morning and it was a 3 hour drive to get over to Bend where Peter and I stayed the night and we were able to stay in Alan's condo there in Bend. Alan also came and stayed the night. He rode his motorcycle and in the morning was off to California on a road trip. On the way to Bend Peter and I stooped in a town called Madras for lunch. For dinner Alan.Peter and I went into Bend. Saturday July 11 After breakfast Peter and I went to Mount Bachelor ski area to walk around and we were only 14 miles from there from Alan's condo.At Mount Bachelor they had the had the ski shop open and we went and walk around inside. They also had one ski lift going that you could ride but we did not do this because we didn't not have a lot time to spend at Mount Bachelor because we needed to get to Peter's parents place and Peter wanted to go to downtown Bend before going to his parents place in Eagle Crest.We finally made it to Peter's parent place early afternoon. The birthday party for his mom started at 4:00Peter's brother and sister were there at the party. His sister also had her boy friend and also brought a friend along as well. There were also friend of Peter's parents as well. At the party there was lots of food and cake to eat. I have met Peter's parents several times before and this was the second time that I have met his brother and sister. We left for home that evening at 7:15 and we got to Peter's place at 10:20 so it took us just a little over three hour to get home and then it took me another 20 minutes before I was home. I had a great time.The weather was great while we were over in Central Oregon Except for being little to hot for me. July 23 I went to see my doctor that did my left hip replacement and he did x-rays to see how things were looking with my hip and he said that everything looked great and that was great to hear. In October I am going to Georgia to see Phyllis. I was able to find a great deal on airfare and I am looking forward to doing that. Well hope all is well.Take care.
