Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Happy Birthday Great Grandpa Ben:

Today is my great grandfather Benjamin Hedrick's birthday. He was born in Drain, Oregon in 1871, and died in 1957. Ben was first married to Clara Ward, and had his son Hobart. Clara died when Hobart was a baby, and Ben married Litha and had three more children: John, Florence and Homer. Florence is my Grandma T., my Mom's mother.
