Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving here in the US...
...and so Nick & I went to Bend to be with the family! It was a beautiful 5 1/2 hr drive - from here to Roseberg and then through the passes of Hwy 138 to Crater Lake/Diamond Lake area to connect with Hwy 97 to Bend!
Crater Lake
Diamond Lake
(read up on these beautiful sights!)
A Subway to go was enjoyed! |
A "pristine" Day! |
It was fun staying at Mar's and to be back in our old home town of Bend! ...We had a relaxing week, shopping for the Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings...a big FAT turkey, potatoes, vegetables, lots of good eatin'!
Mar had the whole week off, so it was quite a special time together!
We also celebrated my Birthday and that was so sweet - Nick's sis Cecile organized it all and made it so special for me!
The two sisters in the kitchen...preparing the meal...how fun!
Now that was a highlight!
We are making memories!!!
She's a good cook and enjoys preparing a meal...just like me!
Ronnie my brother & Viola also came and so we had a very special Day!
Leslea, Mar's neighbor and friend...also joined us - it was lots of fun being together on such a relaxing day!
We were all very Thankful...to be together on Thanksgiving Day!
Ron carved the turkey- and it was delicious! Good job Sis! And we sat down to a very special holiday meal!
(Today was also our oldest brother's John's Birthday and we remembered him!)
While we enjoyed a very special day together as a family (such a blessing!)
it began to snow and snowed ALL day....14 inches! Wow - such a pretty sight it was...and we were cozy and warm inside the Log Cabin enjoying the fire & a special time together!
Ron & Viola stayed the night - so they wouldn't have to drive home in the evening in the snow, so the next morning we sat around & enjoyed more talking and hanging out...and Maralin made a "good old fashion breakfast like Mom use to make!"
It was so cute to sit down to breakfast that morning...all so familiar with the 3 siblings together - well you can imagine how special a time we had!
This Big sis was Very Very grateful!
