On The Tree Farm

We are currently parked at a Christmas tree farm that is owned by our friends and sometime employers John & Lynn. They have a beautiful home on 53 acres south of Oregon City and it just happens to have a convenient RV space to park on. From the front of our fifth wheel we have views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens...along with some beautiful countryside.

John has a pretty nice workshop here so I have finally started to work on Pegs & Jokers sets again. It has been pretty slow going since I am doing portions of the process that I am not used to doing. Fortunately I am starting to get the hang of it and just finished cutting, routing and drilling ten sets. Only 90+ more to go. I am also getting a little distracted with other things going on here but then all work and no play makes Gary a dull boy.

Of course we have also been spending time visiting with our grandkids!

Yesterday John and I spent all day with a couple of other people putting price tags on over 2800 trees that we will sell down in the SF Bay Area. Today we are all off to a casino near the coast to interview a potential manager couple for our Christmas tree lot...all work, of course.

Ain't life grand!

Can't beat that set-up plus a magnificent view! Unbelievable how much W has grown . . . and little M looks like he'll be following in his footsteps in the cuteness category.
