June 3, 2009

We had quite a rain storm last night with lightening and thunder and some wind.

It made the park here so beautiful and green which it already was but more so.

Ken took some photos of a Rhodie outside our window.




Eugene has a place called Hendricks Park. It has the most beautiful flowering plants I have ever seen. The Rhodies and Azaleas are gorgeous and they get close to 20' high. They have one that is pure white and called the Bridal Veil. Well named as it has so many flowers on it you can't see any foliage at all, just the white flowers. If we get a chance, we will go there and take some photos. Too short a time for us to be here. Since we won't be going to the coast due to the rain, we will be home to the Tri Cities on Friday afternoon late. We want to get the house ready to sell and hopefully go on to Montana to visit friends.

We have had a wonderful vacation and hope we have more to come.

We had dinner with our friends from Eugene, Ken and Cathy McCoy and then we came back here to the motor home and my Ken went and got the next door neighbor as he is a retired cop from Alaska and Ken is a retired Fireman from Alaska and they both seemed to know the same people. Small world. Then the storm came up with thunder and lightening and rain and soon after everyone left. Was wonderful visiting with them. I will miss them a lot when we leave. Not a good thing to see friends just once a year.

We don't have too much planned for the day as it isn't the best day with all the rain and wet outside, but will go somewhere.

Until later...
