By noon Sunday we had moved to the RV Park of Portland. It was a beautiful park along the Tualatin River right off the freeway and so convenient to visiting with family.
We spent the afternoon at Anne's home with Anne and Nancy. She's really fixed up the house and yard nicely. The yard is mostly in tropical plants with a few orange and red flowers sprinkled here and there. I wish I had gotten a picture...but didn't. BBQ hot dogs and all the trimmings...a walk around the neighborhood to see the house my mom grew up in that Grandpa built...and a couple games of Yahtzee.
Barbara (Coyle side of the fam), Nancy & AnneThe next day Nancy picked us up and off we went to visit my Aunts Jeanette and Elly. At Jeanettes we met a distant cousin from the Brice side of the family. It was a memorable moment in family history. Seems many years ago when our Great Aunt Ola died there was a family dispute and the older relatives quit speaking to my parents...oh, the problems a little money can cause...Any-the-way, we had a great time visiting with the ladies and hearing some of the old stories. I made lots of notes for my family genealogy, which a couple I'm hoping Nancy remembers better than me...lol.
Oh...we took Aunt Elly to the Swan Island Dahlia farm in Canby. They had so many gorgeous dahlias of every color, shape and size. I have a list of about 2 dozen I want in my yard, but first I have to get my yard cleaned up and come up with the money.
