Some loose ends

Sorry for the lack of posting the past month, as I said it was hard to come up with something when we were just parked at the daughters. We are back on the road and now in Oregon. But 1st some catch up to do. The picture of the beautiful young lady is our #2 granddaughter, it was taken the day of her prom. She did great in high school, 4 yrs band, 4 yrs playing 2 sports (track and tennis) and won 25 medals, 4 yrs FFA as an officer, 4 yrs CSF and a 3.5 gpa. She is off to Humbolt State in August. We attended a Memorial Day service where the high school band played. The cemetery placed the flags which made a nice background for the ceremony.
The picture of the small set of mountains is the Sutter Buttes, which is located near Yuba City Ca. where we were. It is the smallest mountain range in the world. The peak is 2130 feet and it is 10 miles long. The other mountain is Mount Shasta, we took it on the way to Oregon. Ok, caught up. We arrived in Albany on a Thursday and went to work on Friday! We are here visiting an old friend and he is prepping his house to sell. It is an old Victorian and has a full basement. We had to get the basement ready to paint. It has 2 bedrooms and a bath which are done but the rest was in bad need of repair. Spent the next 7 days working down there, everything from plumbing repairs to drywall work. Done. But it about killed us, 2 old men out of shape almost bit off more than we could chew. We are heading to the coast on Wednesday to look around Newport. We plan on heading there around the 8th of July, so we want to look at RV parks. Weather has been damp and cloudy most of our stay but the temp has been around 70 degrees. Not to bad really.
