Tonapah to Portland

Sunday June 12
We had a wonderful trip from Tonopah Nevada to Central Point, OR.  We decided we wanted to go through Mt Lassen National Park so we detoured after Reno to take us through the park.  Very beautiful drive.  However, when we turned off to go through the park the roads were closed due to SNOW!  We still had a pretty drive. 

We arrived at my sister's house in Central Point on Monday afternoon.  We really took our time and stopped often.   Two of my nieces were there for dinner that night and we had a good visit.  We layed pretty low the entire time we were there.  We went out to my niece Kay and her husband Mark's house on Wednesday night for dinner.  They have a beautiful home in Jacksonville. 

Thursday morning we headed north to Portland, well, actually Canby at our daughter Melanie's house.  Her and her husband Ron just bought a new house with acreage.  Very nice house and grounds.  They have 4 horses, chickens, ducks, and cats and dogs....oh, and did I mention our two grandchildren Victor and Lori????  Wheee..grandchildren. 

Friday Victor graduated from Clackamas Community College with an AA in General Studies.  For Vic this is a real accomplishment.  He really had the determination to finish this.  We are so proud of him.

Yesterday we had a slow day....just rested and had a nice dinner for the grads last night.  I offered to take them out, but they both opted for steak at home.

Today Lori graduates from Oregon City High School.  I can't believe ALL of my grandchildren are out of high school....sheesh...how did that happen?  I am so proud of all of them, they are all upstanding citizens.  Two with families; the rest doing what they want with their lives.  We are so blessed.
