Catching up on The Night Before the 4th.

 

Woo-hoo! My new accordion arrived on June 5th! Now I'm (not so quietly) trying to learn a few tunes.

On the weekend of June 18-20 Mary's great-nieces (and 2 friends) came to visit and camp out...

Mary and I made bagels, ummm.

Last Saturday, nearly a week ago, I became new member of the Tillamook Rotary! Had fun manning the a ticket booth with them the previous night at the Tillamook Rodeo. What a great group of people. (And the event was held at the home of a local restaurant owner, and also a new Rotary member, Carlos - who cooked an amazing spread!) I'm liking this club that meets for lunch in Tillamook every Tuesday. And I'll never lose weight at this rate.

Well, very early tomorrow I'm going to find out how the magic has always happened every year of my life. I'll assisting Rotary with putting out the Tillamook flags. Have I commented on what a great group this is?

Other great news: Healthcare for All Oregon (HCAO Tillamook Chapter) will have a booth at the Tillamook Fair, and it's been paid for! This is all possible because volunteers to work the booth have emerged from the healthcare industry in Tillamook! Yes, the Tillamook Vision Center has volunteered its staff to help operate the Healthcare for All Oregon fairbooth from Aug. 5th-8th. I hope several others in the area assist us as we bring the good news to the Tillamook County!
