Model T oregon visit

We are home from our Oregon visit. had a great time visiting with all the Oregon relatives. Cottage Grove looked at homes to buy, Hillsboro, visited the Gates farm and Red Vandehey who I had not seen in years. There we, Wes and I and with help from the younger generation got the model T on four good tires. 





I found a back seat in the hay loft of the barn and Wes said I was welcome to it. I was able to disassemble it and get all the parts in the rear storage area of the motor home and brought it home with me. Now I will be working on the back seat and seat cushions. A backwards approach but then I never have been to conventional.

                                                

Then we went to Vernonia for the Webb visits enjoyed their company and hospitality for a week or so.

                                                


This is Don Tiffany a life long friend of mine. This Don actually caught the fish, while he and Don Webb were fishing together near Clatsknie Oregon in Th e Columbia River.
Don caught a 40 pound salmon while we were there and fillet it and sent some home with us. We then went back to Hillsboro for a bit more model t work .


Then on to Cottage Grove for more house hunting and mostly getting to know the areas and how it could work for us when we moved there.


Hally and nick have a Tortoise Robin found on the street. It was a rare African variety and eventually was given to a person who would take good care of it. We thought it was a turtle and put it in water and left it outside. Being a Tortoise it was so cold it would not eat, so it was a good thing Robin found and expert. The Great Grandchildren were not so sure about it.

Last but not least we visited with our grand adults, they are not children, Mike and Rebecca Fouquette, in Concord Ca .
Our lace was well taken care of by Brenda and Denise they took care of the horses and kept order while we were gone.
