For the rest of this trip I will be visiting friends and family. This is Melody Church. We went to the same church when we were children. She and my younger sister Carol were best of friends. It was fun visiting her and her husband Jody. She made me a fantastic breakfast too!

While I was up here, Jerry, one of my VROC friends noticed I was in the area and invited me over to visit and generously offered me a room to stay the night. I forgot to take a picture of he and Linda, so I was able to steal this one from his fb page. :) We really had a nice visit on their deck. It was about as perfect a day in the northwest as you can get and it was a pleasure to share it with them.

MacGyver and his assistant getting it done.

Maybe not

Whoa! Did that just happen? Just kidding, This is another of my VROC friends and he invited me to come see his new house.

He and Jeannie just bought it and are having and doing a lot of work on it before they move in. It is very close now. Close enough that I stayed here last night. When he gets off work, we will haul the last of his things from his temporary shop and bring them to his shop here. I'm envious of the man cave portion of this house. Giant garage, lift, work benches and cabinets, lots of lighting, office with wifi, weight room, and other things too much to list. That is just downstairs.

A nice fenced backyard with neighborhood goats and chickens, complete with a stump to practice his karate kid poses on. Not kidding!
