Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day - Flag Memorial in Molalla, Oregon

We have had a good week, ending with the Molalla Buckaroo Rodeo on July 3rd, and a Finney Family BBQ today, after the Molalla Fourth of July Parade.  Earlier in the week, Neil completed the addition of two additional cedar support posts under our wisteria arbor.  Since we moved in, we have been a bit worried about the lack of support at the house side of the arbor, so Neil put in two clear cedar posts, "just in case".

We went to the Molalla Buckaroo on the afternoon of July 3rd, for the opening of the rodeo and watched all of the rodeo events and the fireworks afterwards.  It was Neil's first rodeo, and it was an enjoyable evening.

We stayed over in Molalla in our Fiver, and the Molalla Fourth of July Parade was today.  It was a patriotic, rural, parade with lots of horses, tractors, and even log trucks.

This week, Neil will continue to clear a plot for a new 10 x 14 foot garden shed on the east side of the house, and Pamela is on deadline for some of her Creative Memories projects.  On Sunday, we head to Astoria, Oregon for an overnight before we drive up to Ocean Park, Washington to load our pickup with some furniture for Sam Carlson and deliver it to the barge lines in Seattle.  We will stop and see Neil's Dad before we return that week, and may visit some Seattle attractions while we are there.

Anyway, we had a great holiday and hope that you did as well.  We have to admit that the 75 degree, sunny day was more than we could have expected in Juneau, but Juneau's fireworks are a lot better!

Have a great week, and thanks for visiting,
