Just some of my many adventures

I decided that I am getting too many pix to email so will just put up a pix page for the people I love.

Here are the latest more to come but you all knew that :)

New pictures will always be on top of page And there are a lot! Next pix I will make a second page here

First our painting pix- I know I said I would not post those type here, just email you them but I got lazy shoot me :)

We finished up the room Friday only the molding to go yet

So here are a few pix

We did sponge painting in the vacuum closet Kay wanted to use all the colors of the main room she had chosen in a foe granite look- we started with yellow and brown over that she followed with lighter of browns and pink tinted shades using what I taught her on how to sponge paint.

Started out rough

But turned out pretty good

Much softer

Here are few of us as the day wore on and we painted over the white primer as well as ourselves oh wait that was only me :)

Kay took my pix before I got really covered in paint this time

You can see the shade of paint that was used behind Jack, where it met the unpainted primer

Rod painting

Rod and Kay Painting

Jack putting the second coat on Kay's darker accent wall

The entry way is my favorite shade looks like a dusty rose

Tired me

OK here is our trip to MT Hood we got a bit side tracked Saturday and ended up at a place we did not know was even here called Vista House I looked it up and for more check it out http://vistahouse.com/

but here are some pix from there

Walking up to this place that is made of stone it reminds me of something from the Middle East- you can read about it's construction on it's web page.

Jack in front of the sign I could not get to show up in a pix becasue of the glare on the rock but did get a pix of similar info inside

the massive ceiling

As beautiful as it was inside the outside view is what takes your breath away and cannot be captured or done justice to in these small pix

After getting back on track we made it to where we stayed by late afternoon

Here are a few pix outside the place we took on our walk Sat evening

We stopped for breakfast at a cute little place with a country flare that had it's walls decorated in various motifs.

I took a pix of the big clock on the wall, but decided against pix of the animal heads and pelts- Good food and friendly people.

We then made our way up to the Mountain and it was a lovely sunny day could not ask for better.

Timberline built in 1936-37

I took the pix going into Timberline Lodge and inside why so many were unusable :(

All of Jack's outside pix came out great!

From on top of Timberline

The door into the lodge off the top balcony that was cool so Jack took a pix of it

Outside lodge the asphalt walking trail all the people go up like little sheep

You can see the top of the mountain and that there is still snow there

A loooonnnnnnng way up!

I was one of the sheep for part of the way but when I had had enough of that steep climb I took a side path to the left back down to the back of the lodge

Where Jack took my pix

Then I lead Jack off to the right past the roped off area into no mans land like some kinda crazy rebel. I told Jack let the Tourist Police arrest me :)
