Life with Duane

The two of us flew to Oregon June 1st. We stayed with his parents. He has 3 siblings that live nearby. A fourth one lives in Washington state. We drove to Salem, Oregon to have lunch with that brother and his wife. We shopped in a mall after lunch. Monday night the 3 siblings came over for supper. There were a lot of nieces and nephews including 4 great nieces and nephews. Sunday morning early we went to a park hoping for a hot air balloon ride but we got there too late. I've never had a ride like that and wasn't sure I'd actually do it. Maybe next year. We visited the Applegate Trail Interpretive Center. There was a stuffed full-size upright bear in a menacing pose. As we walked by it a growl came over the sound system. My four year old great nephew was ready to leave! One morning we went to my great nephew's preschool program. Went to church with my mother-in-law Sunday morning. Tried to watch Star Wars Episode 3 but it was mostly noise and nonsense for me. My dear husband left the movie early just for me.
