On Saturday I went with Roland and Jenna to the big
city of Roseburg as Roland wanted to get some more soil and plants to add to
our yard and garden.
As we were near Costco, I mentioned to Roland that we
ought to get gas. We also need milk and
so picked up some additional items as well.
We also had an opportunity to allow Jenna a thrilling moment that we of
course would never have planned for.
As we were walking toward the Costco entrance, Roland
noticed a ReMax balloon out in the parking lot.
It appeared as though it was lifting off the ground and then back
again. Corey and I had actually saved
our money for a balloon ride and were majorly disappointed with the
results. The ReMax ride was less costly
and all proceeds went to the Children's Miracle Network

In addition to the balloon ride was a booth for face
painting (Jenna loves those, but did not participate on Saturday) and some representatives
from the Wildlife Safari in Winston. Unplanned
and fun. I was happy for the moment.
We learned that the Cockatoo can live 60 years but that it will always act like a 2 year old. That thing is LOUD - louder than noise from the parachute which was bothering the bird.
There were cards at both ReMax and Safari. I had been to Safari before when Corey had visited me in 2015. He posted his pictures to facebook but not on his blog. I'd forgotten my camera, and so some of the pictures that Corey took can be seen on this post.
We added strawberries to our hill and have been watering
all over the yard. Marigolds are looking
sad. We have started to eat the
spinach. Tomatoes and peppers may not be
getting enough sun; they don't look as upset as the marigolds, but they are not
thriving, either. I believe they were
planned before the beets and spinach.
