Since Dec. 2001 we have anxiously anticipated the day when we would recarpet our home. Finally..... it's done. Dad did way too much with very little help but it is so worth it. Wish the pix showed the texture and feel of this gorgeous carpet.

Camping at Honeyman State Park

Weekend camping get-away

A wonderful camping weekend turning into a disaster averted. Camping at Honeyman State Park - car shows in Reedsport, fishing at Selcox Lake, trips to Florence for good old fashioned A&W Root beer floats, camp fires, resting, relaxing, watching all the off road 4 wheelers on the dunes, truck getting stuck requiring hours of man power and truck power to get it out of the soft sand only for us to catch a glimpse of him returning to the dunes the following day. The final meal of marinated sirloin steak, fried red potatoes and corn on the cob..... yummy! and then..... John taking too big a bite - 8 1/2 hours of wretching trying to free the meat from his throat, a trip at 2:30 a.m. to Florence hospital where all attempts to free the meat failed and finallly a surgical removal of the meat from his esophagus, hospital stay, follow up. Towing a trailer, never attempted before, generosity of strangers coming to my assistance in hooking up trailer and replacing stabilizer bar as it fell off several times during transit. Being frightened alone in a dark trailer in an empty parking loat of the hospital - freeeeeeezing! John's fine, hopefully learned not to eat big pieces of anything. Until the next time. What a weekend - the good, the bad, and the UGLY! Thanks to Ryan, Michelle and family who really helped ME out in my time of need dealing with the situation. I love and appreciate you coming all the way to Florence. Mom ( oh and forgetting a camera)
