Catching up again

This is on August 13th, when we got done removing all the rotten wood there was nothing left.  That part of our decks was built right after we moved here in 1982 so we got pretty good service from it.  On Thursday the 16th we went up to Olympia to see Barry and Mona.  After visiting and checking out their decorating we went to lunch at the golf club.

On the 17th James came up and we spent the evening out on the deck enjoying the nice weather and visiting.

This is how the deck looked on the 19th when I quit.  It is all treated lumber this time, the original deck was lumber from trees we took out and it was cut by my friend Ray.

On Saturday the 19th we went down to the Cowlitz Valley Radio Control Flyers field for a Fun-Fly and picnic.

There was a pretty good turn out, more cars and people showed up after I took this picture.

I counted 10 members from the Lewis County Radio Controllers and 13 from the CVRCF.

This is my planes, I got in eleven flights today.

My next to the last flight of the day, my friend Steve used my camera to take it while I was showing Dave how the P-39 flew.

Debbie and Josh went by and spotted the motor home so they turned around and came down for a visit.

Seeing Jordon walk was the highlight of the day.  Last week he was taking 5 or 6 steps, now he is walking all over the place and he can get himself up if he falls down.

Monday the 20th we went up to see Marie and arrange for Hospice.  She was really weak but we had a nice visit with her.

We went to lunch at Jeremy's and then headed home.  We had only gone a few miles when we got a phone call that Marie had passed away.  We went back and made a few decisions about arrangements, picked up some of her stuff and headed home again.
