New Car

I saw this die-cast 1/24 scale car on Ebay and couldn't believe the price. So, I bid on it - and won. This is a 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo, driven by Jeff Gordon, advertizing Star Wars III. It's got a special paint job called color chrome. It looks like they chromed the car first, then sprayed the paint on afterwards. I have the Star Wars I also, but, it's not color chrome. Just thought I'd share!

Last night, after work, we packed up the dog and drove to Cannon Beach. We had fish & chips at Mo's and walked on the beach for a while. We came across the really cool sand castle. The wind was calm and the sunset was great! Quick get-a-way , we were home by 10:30p.m. I will post more soon.

Madison's B-Day

Happy Birthday to Madison - Big #9! Hope you had a nice day, sure was great to have everyone over. Carol cooked a great dinner, the Mariner's won, and Jeff Gordon won the NASCAR race - so it WAS a GREAT Day!!! And the Maverick's won too!

I'll post more soon.

Friday, May 27th, we loaded the van and picked up Mikayla and Madison and headed south for Russ & Roberta's 30th Anniversary. We spent the night at Canyonville, OR and drove the rest of the way (Redding, CA) the next day. In Ashland, OR we hit rain that turned into snow!? We checked in at the La Quinta and cleaned up a bit before going to The Wegner Ranch. It was so good to see Mom, Dad, Susan, and Uncle Bob & Aunt Ev Crowder! Getting all of the kids together all at once was a real treat. I can't believe how they've all grown.
The renewing of vows was so nice - and the food was perfect. What a great time! The next morning we had a small breakfast and got on the road, heading back to Oregon. The girls were really good, and I think they had fun swimming and playing at the arcade. We had them home by dinner.

More news soon.
