Turdunken....................

This was awesome, and will become the tradition for us from now on. Easy to bake, easier to carve!
Hope it will draw entice everyone to come and share it with us next year.












Thanksgiving in Oregon.......Plan it!

Good Friends

Meet our friends Anita and Janae. Anita play mahjongg with me and her daughter and son-in-law own the best restaurant in Newport. Janae is Kurt's trainer and has become a great friend to both of us.

Friends................For Dinner............

Next to Faja's immediate family, TJ is her FAVORITE person............















TJ is getting the paperwork in order to be the canine handler in Newport.

White Pelican

White pelicans are very rare. There were two of them and I was trying to get pictures of them before Faja ran them off.














Only got one.......she is a tear after the birds......

Milestone...............

We are having a celebration! The lexus crossed over to 100,000 miles and she runs as good as ever!

Cannot say enough about Toyota. In fact, Kurt had a small white toyota truck that had over 100,000 miles on it too........











A few rusty spots here and there, but honestly I LOVE MY CAR.........Here's hoping she runs for another 100,000!

New Hardware

He wears this only while relaxing at home. When he is working, he has a smaller splint that is still protecting the bone. It is amazing how they got that finger back to "looking" normal!





Don't they look great???????
It is so nice to put the pain behind us. Doesn't the pinkee look sooooo sad?

YIPEE...........

The surgeon, Dr. Vela, is the one with the glasses. He was trying to distract Kurt while Doug was pulling out the pins.













Kurt said it didn't hurt. He could feel them coming out, not quite as good as they said......."like butter"......but not so bad either.

Crabbing........

Grandpa, Kearby, and Levi spent the afternoon crabbing. Boy, did they have a great time!











Grandpa drove the boat, and Kearby and Levi dropped their crabpots into the water. These crabs are HUGE.....


You rent the boat, and they provide the pots, and bait. Great deal and a great day!

It Takes a Village

The carpet hasn't been so clean! It is Jayne's favorite thing to do, and far be it from me to stop her........














Kurt is putting a piece of wood on the wall, so the table can rest on the wood............

Sewing Room Improvements

We went to a lumber liquidators yard to see what they had and would up buying 3 hollow core doors, and 5 unfinished cabinets.

Really inexpensive..........

So, we are redoing the sewing room












Moved everything over to one side, and brought in one wall at a time

Jayne.......

Had an awesome week with Jayne. We showed her the best parts of Newport and surrounding areas..........She had great weather. Only one day of showers.

Brussel Sprouts

We bought these at the Corvallis Farmers Market.............It doesn't get fresher than this!
