OREGON TRIP AND MORE…

A week after summer school ended, my girls and I drove out to California to spend time with the family for a week. When we came back to Mexico, I had all three of my kids with me. What a joy!

me and my kids  I Got to take Adam for his favorite – SHRIMP COCKTAIL on the boardwalk in Ensenada. adam and shrimp cocktail And then we all walked to a Thrifty ice cream shop. The great lil perk – Thrifty ice cream still exist in Mexico! Once the week was over, we started off on our trip to Oregon. We dropped off Adam and Monica since they were starting school soon after. But Becky, Pepe, and I were off on our road trip to Oregon. What a beautiful state! Green lush landscape, silver falls gracious and courteous people, new friends, and for Becky – 2 new grandma’s (Grandma Rose and Grandma Marian), and a handful of new friends. Not to mention she got to visit and hang out with her friend Kaylene whom she met out here in Mexico over the summer. Thanks Trina for the great Indian lunch in Salem! It was fun to hang out with you, the kids, and Maggie once again. And an especial thanks to my Spicy white Momma – Ms. Maggie! You don’t know how I value your friendship and the wisdom I draw from you. Thanks to Jaira for the wonderful reunion dinner at your amazing cabin home. What a blessing it was to fellowship with you and Jo Graham, and the Willis family. A great big thanks to Jeff & Cecilia Willis for their kind hospitality – Becky thanks you for your TV room as well – oregonshe soo enjoyed it  as well as movie nites in Granda Rose’s room! Lol I have fond memories of walking thru Scotts Mills to church on Sunday’s and enjoying a time in God’s word in this small quaint “Friends church.” The simplicity of the fellowship, praise, and worship there was refreshing. And while the main reason for the trip was Grandma Marians heart surgery, we were thankful to the Lord for all those we met and hung out with along the way. Becky and I got to meet Grandma Marian before her surgery and Grandma was ELATED to see her Pey-pey! She is now slowly recovering and the updates we receive have been positive. And I can’t forget our friends the Huber family in Dallas. What a precious family! Thanks to Missy who BLESSED me with a ticket to the Beth Moore Simulcast event. Wow, the Lord has been so good to us! Our trip ended with a 4 day drive down the Oregon coast. oregon coast What an amazing sight that was. How majestic is His creation! That was our first – but definitely not our last trip to Oregon. oregon coast 8sanfran 4 Thanks to all who made this trip memorable. And Thanks to the Lord for His indescribable gifts!
