We held our every-other-year reunion with all of our children and grandchildren in attendance this summer. I'm thankful everyone has made our gathering a priority.
At Sunriver we rented a house large enough to accommodate 22 bodies, rounded up enough bicycles and bike trailers for all, planned meals and bought food for a week, and voila!, had a marvelous time together. The only downer was that the forest fires burning in Mt. Jefferson Wilderness and up in BC made a smoky atmosphere at Sunriver. We skipped our traditional family climb up Mt. Tumalo, yet three hardly souls climbed South Sister in spite of the smoke.
We enjoy the companionship and make memories for a lifetime!
