August Headlines

Well, we are rounding around August quickly. Boy, I don't know where all the time goes. We started off the month with Sadie's 17th birthday. She and Amanda went to Baker City to hang with friends. Jerry and I went to McCall. Kim Hess was in town also. We got to hang out for awhile. It was good seeing her again. Just another hot weekend, no wind for sailing. I had the week off work. Painted, helped my mom move. You know fun stuff.

The following week, the girls went to cheer (leading) camp. Jake moved back home after moving out for a week. Jerry was on vacation, on Wed and Thurs night we had our camper packed and headed for the mountains. We were heading for Challis. Stopped at Kirkham hot springs to spend the night. The next morning I was trying to hop accross the wet rocks to look at the soaking pond. Slipped and landed upside down. So, I went for a dip to wash off my clothes. We then drove north, to Stanley. Checked out the lake. Then Jerry tried fishing for awhile. We then continued our trip north. We stopped at the Sunbeam dam, then to the Yankee Fork Dredge. That was way cool, we got to tour the inside of an old gold dredge. We finally made it to Challis. Met up with Drashners, Odgens, Holsingers, and friends. We had such a good time that I forgot to take any photos while in Challis. We went to a street dance Thurs night. Listened to a country guy, can't remember his name, then to Micky and the Motorcars. Friday we tried to play golf, but no carts available so didn't want to exercise too much, so went back to camp and rested. The boys went fishing. Saturday was the big Braun brother concert. It was great, Reckless Kelly, Micky, and the dad's Billy and Gary and Muzzy. Great music.

I also ran into an Indian Medicine man, Iriquois tribe, which is cool, since I have my Mohawk heritage, He has powers. I haven't every talked with an Indian. Then to run into someone from the same nation was pretty neat. He did tell me that I won't have big worries in my life.

We ran into Rico and Carol. We haven't seen them in the lake all summer. They moved to LaGrande this last year. Good to see them.

This last weekend we managed to go to McCall. Sure glad we did. We had a great sail. Jerry actually reefed the mail sail, which he doesn't do very often. We were hitting 7 knots but running 5 1/2 to 6 for most of the time. Wow. We really haven't sailed much this summer. This was great.

Sadie made it to the fair again. Since dad isn't here to show the mules, Sadie helped others, Handed out 2 $500 buckles for the top winners of the events. They were dedicated to my dad. That is great. She was also helping with the FFA events too. Busy girl.

Well, we are just working now. Looking forward to the 31st for our 4th anniversary.

Ok, next is some photos. Hope you all are well, healthy and having fun.

Happy Birthday to Lisa and Phyllis.
