PDX Car Show

After church today I met with Clay, Caleb, and Chad Nagel and we took the MAX downtown to the convention center - 2010 Portland Auto Show. We saw tons of cars, trucks and SUV's. None of which we could afford! But, it sure was fun to look! Great meal at China Bay too.

Well January is almost gone. Big birthday month for the family, Don, Dana, Kelly and me.

Carol and I ran down to Florence, OR for dinner and a movie (The Book of Eli). Then we spent the night in Newport. We stopped at Grande Ronde for breakfast (buffet), then headed home.

Great weekend...very relaxing...thank you Carol!

Mom Peters is doing pretty well. The house seems a little bigger as mom down-sizes and makes donations to Goodwill, etc. She went with Carol & me last week to see Signature Sound - Gospel Quartet from The Gaithers. We had a great time and met our friends Clay & Cindy Nagel at the concert. Today Etienne (Mike), Kelly, and I helped Mom at the house and did minor repairs and yard work - Kelly cleaned the house - Thank You guys! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Wayne E. Peters

On December 15th we lost Dad Peters to a heart attack at home. He was 85 years young and never quite recovered from previous surgeries this past summer. We miss him alot and want to thank all friends and relatives for your cards, letters, and prayers during this time. Mom Peters went in for Melanoma surgery (on her nose) on the 17th of December and reconstruction surgery on the 18th. Carol and Mom have been strong during this transitional time. I'll post more after the Christmas holiday. Merry Christmas to all!

Short Vacation

Thanksgiving was at our house on Thursday, 26 Nov 2009. Kelly, Mike, and girls came over and Mom & Dad Peters were here too. Everybody brought food and nothing was duplicated! Lots of food, football and fun! After all of the festivities and clean-up, Carol & I packed our suitecase for a quick trip to Redding, CA to visit Russ & Roberta. We had rain most of the way and at the Siskew summit we hit snow (it wasn't sticking). As we entered California the weather cleared and it was 61 degrees in Redding. We had a great visit with Russ, Roberta, and the Gang! What a great house...lots of room for kids and adults! We left around noon and spent the night in Canyonville, OR. It was lots of fun! The weekend went way too fast.

Ronnie & Lorrie

Last night Carol & I went to Grand Ronde, OR and heard Ronnie Milsap and Lorrie Morgan sing. No duets, Lorrie sang first. Great concert! We love to listen to Ronnie and his band. We got home around 11:30p.m.

Coastal Visit

Yesterday Carol & I got up early and had breakfast in Grand Ronde, OR. Then, on to highway 101 and followed the coastline to Florence. It was supposed to be cloudy and rainy, but as the pictures reveal...it was very nice and 56 degrees. Once we made the turn at Florence to go east and head toward the freeway - it poured! This was Carol's day...she had a birthday this week and she just wanted some "quiet coast time". Thanks to Mom & Dad Peters for watching Payton (our pooch)!

Last weekend we attended the Tammy Lash wedding in Newport, OR. Great setting (at Stone Crest Cellars) against the background of the Pacific Ocean! Beautiful wedding, great people and the weather co-operated. Congratulations and thank you for the invitation!

After the wedding we got into the van and drove to Canyonville, OR (about four hours away). We ate dinner and went to hear Ronnie Milsap. He was Great! And sang quite a few of his older hits and some of his new songs. His new CD is "Then Sings My Soul".We spent the night and drove home the next day (but, we followed the coastline home! My little van has 600 new miles on her from last weekend.
