Our woodstove get's a new look....
Just a few pix of our new woodstove color. It's called honey glow brown. Has lot's of little sparkles in it. Very pretty. What a new look and difference!
Our mantel will be going up soon. Dennis just needs to paint the stove pipe also. It will look so nice!

Sidney's Visit ...arrived Tuesday, August 9th
Tuesday-We picked Sidney up at our lovely, convenient Redmond Airport. A little delayed but she arrived safe.
Meagan is here in between contracts so the timing was wonderful. She starts at OHSU in Portland soon. Congrats Meaggie!
Devin was able to get us some tickets to our High Desert Museum for the next day. The otters were being shy and would not come out of their den :( While I needed to go back to Bend for a hair appointment, they stayed for the Birds of Prey show. On the way home, we took a ride up to Pilot Butte.
Thursday eve-Devin was able to get us tickets to the Michael Frante concert at the Schwabb Amphetheater. It was a fun concert! Both Sidney and I touched his arm as he ran through where we were sitting!
Friday was kind of a down/prep day for our BBQ but Denny and Sydney went on the ski lift ride to Mt Bachelor. On the way back, they stopped at Elk Lake. Saturday, everyone that said they were coming arrived. The only missing party poopers were Mike, Jr and Izzy. Warm day but it started to cool down a bit towards the end. It was good to see EVERYONE that came.... We need to do this more often!!!
Sunday-Devin, Meagan, Sidney, Denny and I went to Hosmer Lake and kayaked around for the day. Brought some hot dogs, chips and pop for afterwards. My arms DO NOT hurt. Yea me!!!
Monday, August 15th-Prep day for leaving tomorrow morning for Sunriver, Thousand Trails. Spending Tuesday and Wednesday kayaking and hanging out by the pool. Heading for home on Thursday.
Pictures of our camping trip coming later........

| Another birdhouse creation. Looks like a soldiers hat. It's actually a lid off an old pot. |
