The years we have traveled I-5 north to family in Vernonia, we travel through this high mountain meadow that always causes me to day dream..."what would life be like in this beautiful place?"
Our first stop is an overnight visit with our good friends Cathy and Dave...oh how we have missed their company since they left the Central Valley. But, oh how happy they are to be in their new home in Oregon. We picked up where we left off a year ago, but our visit was WAY too short!

My highlight returning home is always to be with Mom! As I miss Dad terribly, I look forward to still having one parent to enjoy a little time with. Mom's eyes were lit up when I took this shot. It warmed my heart.
Our hosts (and my brother-in-law and sister), Cracker and Daf continue to open their home for family gathers, for folks like us...family coming to visit. We are blessed to have them in our lives!
...AND, there is the "good lookin'" brother, Ronald, and his family...Sandy, Heidi and Nicholas! We also were blessed to have a meal with them a couple days later. We sure do eat good when we visit our Vernonia family!!
Then there is the "little" brother of the 4, but still my big brother, Darwin, and his wife Linda. I have come from a family of story tellers, and I think Darwin is the best (or is he the biggest?)!
My nephew, niece and great nephew...Tim, Allison and Cannon!
Last, but not least, my niece and nephew, Teresa and Pat.
Five generations...Eric (my great nephew), Ron by brother, Mom, Angie (my niece) and Stetson (my great, great nephew)!!!
