Since Cecile and I have been here for ten days, it's probably about time we made a post on the blog. I have been very bad about updating this.
This is our second year staying up here with our friends Ken & Janice and we still love coming back. The night's are quiet and dark, great for sleeping...Ken & Janice are great people to just hang out with...and they have a great shop & art studio for working on projects. Last year we decided that we would make sets of pegs & jokers games to sell and give to friends as presents. We spent half of our time here last year coming up with designs and production methods and ended up making close to fifty sets. This year our goal was going to be 150 sets and we are now well on our way. We had some wood left over from last year and together with wood that Gary bought in California, we have the materials here to make around 80-90 sets. We already have about fifty sets in various stages of production...and we still are having fun!
Lou and Judy Stoetzer came by to visit us this week. They have had a lot in Park Sierra for a long time but just recently bought a place in Salem Oregon. It was great to see them and Janice even convinced them to learn how to play pegs & jokers.
Today was our day off...the one day of the week when we go to town and shop, do laundry, eat a couple of meals out, go to Wal-Mart, etc. We absolutely need one of these every so often.
This coming Saturday, Ken and Gary are going to the Eugene area for a wooden boat show and to do a little supply shopping. I will post photos of that trip when we return. More later!
