What A Beautiful Weekend!

This weekend was fantastic, in the low 80's the sun was shinning and the river water is returning enough to take the canoe out. Chris got home about 5:30 Sunday evening and it was still beautiful so we threw the canoe on the top of the truck and canoed from the boat launch by our house to the bridge in Sunriver. It was so nice :)
On Saturday, Mikey had a baseball game in Christmas Valley. He did quite well, but the team lost :( For two at-bats he got a single and walked. I got a great shot of his hit with the ball just coming off the end of the bat.

Wedding Pictures

They wouldn't let us bring camera's in the chapel, so I stood outside the chapel while the photographer took his, I took a few of my own! Good thing my camera's got a good zoom :)

This is the "Thousand Mile" wedding cake. It got damaged in the fridge, but they fixed it up as good as new and it was incredible. Around the base of the cake an on each tier are hand dipped chocolate strawberries - Yummm. And for dinner before the wedding, the guys made an incredible prime rib dinner that was to die for. I have never had so much delicious food - not to mention all the fresh sea food. They did a great job :)

On the "right" coast...

I am currently in South Carolina for my sister's wedding.

After growing up a California-girl it "felt" different being on the beach on the other side. First of all - no sunset!

This is the happy couple - my sister Cariese and her fiancee Casey.

This is the beach house they rented for their wedding stay at Folley Beach, South Carolina. The deck on the roof has amazing views and it's just steps away from the beach.

And for dinner... Crawdads. And yes, I ate some! The guys did a fantastic job with them and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked them, but I'll stick to lobsters :)

Chris's Man-Cave

These are the really cool cabinets he found on clearance at Lowes for $28.00 each (originally $130.00 each!).

This is the new air compressor he got for his birthday. Luckily it's a good one, I just bought it because I liked the pretty blue!

Every Man-Cave needs a stereo, flat screen and dvd player - right? At least that's what Chris told me :) You can't see by the picture, but he has a complete Nerf foam floor. Underneath is our well pump, so if he needs to get at it, his floor is foamy puzzle pieces that he can just pull apart and put back together. It's soft on his knees and a good insulator.

All he needs to do is put door trim around the door, touch up the paint and he's about done.

Finally making Jewelry again

Chris's Workshop - Get'er Done!

Chris thinks this is the best part of his work shop...  Where the TV is going.

This is the door in the floor to the well-pump.

These are the cool light fixtures he found at our Nature Center thrift shop.  They are from a restaurant, and although you can't see in the picture... they are Dodger blue.

Maybe in a couple weeks he'll be done and can start hanging cabinets and get his tools all organized.

Something YOU may not see every day...

 But we do.  Last year there was just one Eagle at the nest, but this year there are 2!  This shot is taken on the 14th hole of the golf course right by the bridge where we get out of the river when we float.
