with child.....



Today is a beautiful, warm, sunny near-the-official-end-of-summer day.  The kiddos are here while Cali & Brian head over to the midwife's for one last in-office appointment.  Just 3-4 weeks to go.  I'm gonna be a gramma again soon!  May the Lord bless this little one all the days of her?  his?  life.

I love my family.

Trout Lake Drive

Yesterday afternoon we meandered up the Columbia River Gorge to Hood River, crossed over to the Washington side, continued heading East through Bingen and up past White Salmon to Trout Lake.......in search of the ever-tantalizing Huckleberry Milkshake.  The Hwy 141 fire was still burning in several places.  The smoke mixed with the sunset was very beautiful.







Time to stop....






A friendly game of table checkers
