Watery Wednesday: View of the Cougar Reservoir Lagoon

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy ~ Kathy Matthews

Last weekend, we were not far from Cougar Reservoir, so we drove the ten miles in from the McKenzie Highway to take a look.  This is a beautiful and quiet place to boat and camp.  It never seems to be very busy on the lake.   

To learn more about Cougar Dam, I did a blog post about it's ins and outs, and you can read more about it by "CLICKING HERE".   I love the McKenzie Valley so much that I devoted a whole website to it ... it needs updating, but is still full of info: The McKenzie River Valley of Oregon.

Anyway, we parked at the parking area for Terwilliger Hot Springs and walked down the beautiful trail by the lagoon.  This is what I think of when I think of Oregon:

These next three, I am proud to say, are all straight from the camera ... I didn't even have to crop anything out:

Beautiful photos, Kathy.
I watched your slide show, too. Nice new trailer, and I love your moon-shots.
If you're ever out in an RV park and you run across a BC couple named Clint and Maria Davies, tell them big sister Kay said hi. They have a truck & 5th wheel with, of course, BC plates.

The 2012 Army All-American Day Event


Photo Source: Nike "The Opening Brochure" Pages 2 and 3
During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.

There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.

As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!
