6 years ago several of us went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, but the festival was over and the tulips were past their prime, so after seeing Dorene's picture out in the flowers, I decided that it was time to go again and see it in it's prime. Well, we certainly were not disappointed. If you would like to see lots of flowers go HERE It rained a good deal of the time that we were travelling, but we had a wonderful Mexican lunch and the rain went away as we ate. Enjoy our day with us!

We left on Tuesday to head down to Klamath Falls, OR to visit Justin while he was doing his Guard duty. We had a wonderful time and the weather was so beautiful. I loved our parking spot because we had lots of light that shown in from every direction! The only problem was on the way, we were just about 6 miles,(about 85 miles from home), past Oakridge when the "check engine" light came on! Trouble! when pulling a 5th wheel or for that matter, any time. I thought that Dave just slowed way down, but instead we had no power! Lovely, I sometimes think that we will have to quit travelling with the trailer! Ha! Anyway, we finally came to a spot where we could turn around and headed back into Oakridge. It is a small place but there was a Napa store there so we were sure they would have the machine to check the code, but of course, not! We called a couple of dealerships and decided to go back to Eugene (about 35 miles), but decided to have a bit of lunch. Well we stopped and then went on our way and the truck ran just fine! Found it to be a fuel filter was needed. $200 later and we were back on our way to K Falls. We should have been there by 5:00 but finally made it by 9:30. It was travelling in the higher altitudes, in forested areas so was a nice change from our low lands. I got a few pictures for you to enjoy, but didn't get as many as I would have liked, but you can see that we passed many lakes and saw lots of forest. Next time, I hope we can relax and just enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

We made sure that we got home in time to go to a shower for our dear little friend Leah who will be getting married the first part of June.

Wow! what a fun day! The girls did not know how hard this project was going to be, but they all made it to the end and each went home with a card. We had lots of fun as they all created! Lots of goodies to eat, also!

I can't believe that it is the 8th of March already! Only yesterday it was January! I had to change my background because I found this pretty background and the name of it is Tiana! Of course, I had to have it! She is one special girl in my life.

Here is a little sampling of what I have done this past month.. Cuppas & Cards celebrated it's first anniversary with lots of challenges. Thus I got into the card making mode. What better thing for a person to do when it is raining outside! Hope you enjoy looking at them.

Wow, I think that Spring is just around the corner. We went for a drive today to see the pretty trees in bloom and all of the daffodils! It was 59 degrees, and just light fluffy clouds in the sky!


When it isn't raining, Oregon is beautiful and these are just a sampling of an Oregon Spring!

Well guess what? I finally figured out how to get my background to change. I don't know why I couldn't get my previous background out of there, but I finally removed all of it and then I was able to change it! Woo Hoo!

I think that spring is almost here. The daffodils are in bloom and some of the trees are budding and flowering. Certainly makes a person feel better. We have had sun for at least 3 days now so hope it doesn't decide to hide again! In fact the last few days we have had it warmer than the Arizona Snowbirds are having it.

Have a good week!
