This is our friend, Kathy, we go back many, many years. Her husband John and my Jim worked together with PPL as linemen. We had so much fun when our kids were growing up, we camped and fished together and lived in Grants Pass, OR at the time. Kathy is now in Hermiston, OR and John very sadly passed away a little time back. He is missed. We keep up to date with our children and grandchildren via the internet. Thank goodness there is this easy way to communicate on a daily basis if we need to, but you know when you have friends that are so special, you just take up where you left off, no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other, to me that is "True Friendship".Thursday, July 17, 2008
A VERY SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP

MULTNOMAH FALLS, OREGON
This is one of our favorite places in Oregon. It is located along the Columbia River Gorge, there is a path one can hike that goes from the base of the falls all the way up to the top, if one chose to do such a thing. Obviously, Jim and I chose not to go to the top. Jim is at the base of the falls where the path starts up the hill to Lower Falls.
I am standing on the bridge at Lower Falls, when you look over the rail there were red roses that were thrown into the water from a wedding the day before.
OUR NIECE, JULIE AND HER BEST FRIEND, ANNIE
After we left Klamath Falls, OR we headed north on I5 to see our niece, Julie. She is doing so good, has a great job at the hospital in Salem, OR and works as an Echocardiographist. She graduated from OIT in Klamath Falls, OR and lived with us on and off during her time at OIT. We are all very proud of her.
TESSA AND AARON'S WEDDING, MERRILL, OR
The Rodger's family, Tessa, Todd, Brad and Barb. Tessa's wedding took place at her family home in Merrill, OR. What a beautiful day and family. It was so good to see them all and be a part of Tessa's special day. 
Brad walking Tess down the aisle. Brad looks so good, he had a liver transplant not that very long ago and we are so happy to see him healthy again and able to walk his gorgeous daughter down the aisle.
Tess and Aaron have said their vows and are now pronounced "Man and Wife". He is so darn handsome, they make a beautiful couple.
Couldn't have a day like this without Dad's motorcycle as part of the photo op.

TRUE SADNESS
The saying goes that "God gives you only as much as you can handle", well, I am thinking God is getting a little confused on how much one family can handle. On Wednesday my sister, Maureen and her husband Tom, lost yet another child. Our niece, Trisha, had a heart attack and with all the efforts of the EMT's they could not bring her back. The true sadness that surrounds this horrific lose is that they lost their son Tomas just this last April and their son-in-law, Trisha's husband, Philip in April 2007. What I am askng now, is that if you would, please keep this family in your prayers. God bless you all, surround your families with all your love, tell them that you love them everyday and that that love is unconditional.

THE OLD CREAMERY/DOWNTOWN KLAMATH FALLS, OR
The Creamery is now call the Klamath Basin Brewery. A couple of guys from PPL, Del and Lonnie, were always into making beer in their garage. Well they decided to go public with it and put the brewery at the old Creamery downtown. There is a restuarant there and outside eating, they have music and the food was great. What a nice change for the downtown area.
RUNNING Y RANCH/HARBOR LINKS GOLF COURSE
Brenda was able to invite me to a lesson at the Running Y Resort. This place is so unbelievably beautiful, you just have to experience it. A group of ladies get together every Monday for 6 weeks and have a lesson, then the 7th week they all get to golf 9 holes with one of the pros and then have dinner afterwards. What a great idea.
We are having such a good time with Pat and Brenda, they are such great hosts, they have us parked on the back of their acre lot, it's just great, their yard is so gorgeous, and their garden is huge. We were all able to golf 18 holes at Harbor Links, we used to belong to it many years ago and the course is just great. I have to do a little bragging, I will only brag on the front nine though. I shot a 44, I couldn't believe it, we had lunch there and it was a great day all 'n all.
