Yesterday Joyce and I took a drive up into the Cascades to visit Sahalie and Koosah Falls. Both of them are right off of Highway 20 and only a short walk from the parking lots. Both are beautiful.

A lot has been going on since I last wrote so let me get right to it.
On the 20th we got word that Joyce’s mother who lived in San Francisco had another fall and is was in the hospital. Joyce talked to the doctor and was told that Pat had a very bad infection and they were trying to find out what was causing the problem. Later Joyce again talked to the hospital and was told they were still working on the infection and they they were considering putting her on a respirator.
Friday morning the doctor called and told Joyce that Pat had taken a turn for the worse and probably would not make it through the night. We then started looking at flights out of Redmond to San Francisco but we couldn’t find anything that would get her there in a timely manner and the cost was also very high. So we then rented a car so she could drive down to California. By the time Joyce got to Klamath Falls she learned that Pat had passed away.
She then drove on down to Los Altos where she spent the night with her good friend Chris Herdell. The next day they went to the hospital and to the home where Pat lived and picked up Pat’s things. They then went to the funeral home to make arrangements for her burial.

Joyce buried her mother on the 27th and then made the drive back up to Smith Rock with one stop on the way back. It’s really good to have her home. Joyce would like to thank all of you that called or wrote her with condolences for the loss of her mother.
While Joyce was in California I made a trip over to Oakridge to visit Jim and Jeanne Glaspey.

Our duties have changed to taking care of the day use bathrooms, turning the water on and off in several places in the park, mowing the Rex House lawns and general cleanup of the area. Joyce will probably still do some of the mowing in the day use picnic area.

Not only is it very hot here in Central Oregon but we also have a lot of smoke to contend with. The Whitewater fire that is burning in the Willamette National Forest near Mount Jefferson north west of Smith Rock is only 8% contained as of yesterday. Hope that it dies down before the eclipse happens on the 21st.
Gotta throw in a couple of grandson pictures.
