We are still here! :-)

 Edited post: Pictures have been removed by blogspot.

It's been a month since my last post and alot has happened since then. So much so that I have not had time to sit down and write up a post!  Here is a short summary of what has been going on since the last time I posted...

I went to my Sister's and took care of her and her pug dogs for two weeks and then brought her home with me. The pugs stayed at home with the other family in the house. :-)

The day I got home my Great-Aunt and Uncle showed up. They are here for the summer to help us and they are a BIG help!!!! We wouldn't even be halfway as far into the project as we are now without them! :-)

My Sister, Aunt and I did some Geocashing while we drove out to the old family homestead in Myrtle Point.  It was a great day! So neat to see the property and the area where my family lived so many years ago.

The next day after I got home and my Great-Aunt arrived, her siblings came down for a family get together. So we had two Great-Aunts and one Great-Uncle and one Uncle with their spouses here for dinner. It was great to see everyone get together. It had been a while for all of them. It was also fun cause my Sister was here also.

There has been alot more wildlife around...deer, quail, a bobcat, hawks, turkeys, mice, snakes, snakes, and more snakes. EEEEUWWWWWWW!!! I HATE snakes!! Yes, Hate is a strong word but needed in this instance!

The plumbing is done thanks to my Uncle! We didn't know he was a plumber until the big family dinner. So we hired him. :-)

The electrical will be finished hopefully this week and then we can have inspections before we leave for our Nephew's wedding this weekend. :-)

Well, that brings us up to date. Here are some photo's from the last month. Enjoy! 

 Index, WA. My Sister and Sister-from another mister took me here. So beautiful!!

 I'm soo crazy about barns. This one is on the way to the family homestead in Mytrle Point, OR.

 My Great-Aunt in front of her childhood home in Mytrle Point, OR. It was moved up a block from the original corner it was on. Now stands some fuel storage tanks.

 This is where the house stood.

 Here is the theater my Great-Aunt watched movies while her Momma worked across the street. :-)

 Here is the family homestead property. The house burnt down many years after our family sold it. The only thing that stands is the cedar tree.

 This is a cool house so I had to take a picture. Come to find out my Grandmother lived here. lol

Day 54 Quarentine

Yea, you read that right, day 54. It's so crazy to realize it's been that long that we've been isolated. We are retired so even...
