SUMMER IS AROUND THE CORNER

Our spring here in Oregon has been one day after another looking just like this!! So we are very much looking for this spring to roll into summer!! This past Tuesday was just such a day where our view on returning from Sandy OR was a beautiful view of Mt. Hood!! We spent Tuesday in Silverton OR at The Silver Spur RV Park visiting friends that we met in Mesa AZ this past winter. Rosie and Claude are the Activity Workers at Silver Spur for the summer. George and Sally, also friends met in Mesa, were to arrive for a few days at Silver Spur on their way to Washington state. Rosie called us and invited us to join them for a cook-out since it was promising to be such a beautiful day. We hopped in the car and drove down to see them all and enjoy some weather like we had not had since arriving in Oregon!! While visiting and driving through Silverton we became aware of more to see in that area, so we are planning to go back another day. Thank you Rosie and Claude for a lovely day!! I must say the same to Boo also. He is the cutest little pup and so well behaved!! The week before was the Allegro Rally here in our park and we did take a couple strolls around to see all of the guests in their big rigs. Very enticing!!!

So we decided to go through the display of new Allegros and Phaetons!!

So I'm showing you just a couple pictures inside one of the units. But no, we did not trade ours in!! We did that once in Vermont in 2008 and we have spent a lot of time making changes inside our home to make it very functional for us. And even with all of the glitz we did not find any that could give us the function for common living that we have. A showcase? Yes, but not for us.

When we got back home, I took care of my water logged flowers and considered myself lucky not to have all of that debt!!

Another day's stroll through the back of our park, we got some good up hill/down hill exercise and looked over the privately owned park model homes that are summer homes for many and some stay in theirs all year long. They are all sided in a log style exterior, but are just as modern as any motor coach. They add decks and hot tubs to make them very appealing!! One of Gary's many jobs here in the park is working around these to keep the weeds at bay and the branches trimmed.

Pictures during this evening stroll did not really do these justice though. They are very nice and the sound of the Salmon River behind them is lovely!

We are still waiting for a very clear day to go up to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, as well as many other trips. We are expecting to have more of those kind of days soon!!
