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.

Remembering Summer:

Though we had a few nice days here this week, we have also had a bit of snow. Just our typical beginning of spring in Central Oregon. It did give me hope that summer will be here soon, though, and reminded me of these pretty pictures that I took outside of Crescent the summer before last. It gives me hope, reminding me that it nice days will return. So, what is the weather like where you are?

Enjoy your week, my friends!

Thinking of summer got me remembering summer songs, and here is a blast from the past by Bobby Hyland. When I was in grade school, my best friend Teresa's mom. Mary Lou, always listened to the top 40 songs, and I really liked this one. Keep in mind, this was written when long distance was expensive and we had never EVER dreamed of cell phones or unlimited texting. Letters were super important, back in the day.
