The doors are all hung now & I moved on to the wood wrap on the windows. Lynna wanted me to cut everything to fit, then do the finishing down in my workshop before installation. That way there won't be a lot of fumes.


We've been busy with landscaping, placing some more of the plants we brought from Olympia & those we purchased recently, but a lot are still sitting in the "Plant Pile" down by my workshop.
I got all my tomatoes & squash planted this week, peas have been in about 3 weeks but I still have to find a place for my Rhubarb start.


Our grand daughter just had her 16th birthday party. We attended & sampled some of their food. Yummy! We also went to one of her track meets and saw her take second place in the high hurdles.

Lynna's little Chrysler has been suffering from neglect. She drove it less than 600 miles the past year. The battery went dead many times, followed by a re-charge. This killed a new battery in less than a year. The driver's seat is 6 way adjustable with a lumbar support but not the passenger side & her degenerative disk disease keeps her from driving more than 15 minutes or so. We couldn't even drive it to Salem because that's too far as a driver or passenger. So, I decided to replace it. This involved replacing the battery under warranty, then 3 trips to Portland. I found several nice cars & my favorite was a diesel, but it's seats failed to pass the comfort test. She thought a couple others were ok, but really liked my # 2 choice, so I haggled for the best price & came home with this MBZ. Its really plush and Lynna's color also, kind of an aqua-marine.
