July Crumbs

Click all pictures to either enlarge them or see related pictures.

July was a very eventful month. First a wild rabbit had her babies in Matthew & Elise’s sandbox. Next my daughter, Lesley, and her two children flew out from California for a visit

Jeannie and Tim hosted a party at their house in town so the cousins could visit with Lesley and the children. Click this picture to see one of that. I drove back up north with Lesley and stayed at Ina’s for a week. Lesley and the kids visited there from Jeannie’s cabin. Here Lesley is with Reenie and Ina. Jim stayed at Jeannie's in Lino Lakes.

Another highlight of July was the GREAT ROAD TRIP, from July 25 to August 2. My sisters and I rented a crossover SUV and took my mom to Portland, Oregon, to attend her grandson's wedding. The car was a Chrysler Pacifica.

Dorian and Tristan are my brother Mike and Wanda's sons. At the rehearsal dinner mom got to hold her newest great grandchildren for the first time. Click the picture to see more about the pictures on the wall.

Dorian and Kathy were married at the Willamette Gables Riverside Estate (bed & breakfast), a big old plantation-style house on the Willamette River. The reception dinner was served in the garden under huge old walnut trees. The patio served as a dance floor for the dance that followed.

Gene Hartfield (my mom), was 95 years old last February and she came through the trip with flying colors. In this picture she is holding her great granddaughter, Brooklyn.

Tristan holds Riley while is wife Shawn admires the hat Ina knitted.

On the way home we drove through a forest fire east of Missoula on Interstate 90. We saw lots of smoke and even a few hot spots still burning. It was amazing that there were buildings that looked untouched.
