I had a great Christmas...got a wonderful new quilt and some lollipops! We'll do pictures later when I get it all set up. Michelle did the small tree this year, she didn't feel like hauling out all the ornaments and stuff & doing it all herself, so we just set up on the dining room table. It still turned out well & everyone had a great holiday.

Finally, Michelle gets back to her projects!
Well, Michelle finally sat down & got some projects done...she's been getting her Angels For Hope done weekly, but this is the first time she was done by the weekend. She also FINALLY finished the pink blankie bear that has been a work in progress for over a month-they never take that long! And last but not least she finished September's Mother Bear Project bear...she's usually a month ahead on this, so she's running late by her standards.
Tomorrow Gidgett the Foster Chihuahua gets to be driven to Eugene to meet up with the mother of her new little girl. Gidgett just got her last bath here & is currently running around acting crazy like dogs do when they get out of the bath. She will be missed, but it's a great comfort to know that she's going to a home where she is much wanted & will be greatly loved.

Drag racing in Woodburn
We raced this weekend in Woodburn...They have a big JR dragster Wally race on Saturday, although they let the big cars race also, and then on Sunday it's the All Ford Dragrace/Show/Swapmeet. Doug got perfect light on Saturday! He got stickers for his car & also a t-shirt showing that he's in the Perfect Light Club.
Riley went to the quarter finals on the Wally race, but went out first round during the regular et race & the Run Tough race. She was having major car issues...first she fouled a spark plug, then fuel filter, and then had a flat tire, and finally her clutch driven broke into pieces...by the time we're done it will be a new car!
Here's Michelle's camera bag. It contains video camera, digital camera, cell phone, me, and sometimes Gregg's camera...and on this trip the chargers for all of the above. Saturday the temperatures had to be almost 100 degrees...not good for us Coasties. Thankfully, our hotel had a swimming pool...our first stop after the races.
This was the first time Doug has run a 1/4 mile track. He broke some stuff also. Day one he broke his driveline...it was changed over to his spare. Day two he broke the spare driveline-Gregg & Dean patched one together from the broken two, his starter...again had to be patched together since we didn't have a spare & couldn't find one, and the thing that did him in was his tach broke & he didn't know where to shift. We gotta teach him old school and how to listen to his motor to know when to shift.
Today is Riley's 11th birthday, so a special shout-out:Happy Birthday Riley!

Drag Race Weekend
Here is Riley getting ready to make a pass on Saturday. She didn't run on Sunday because she would've been the only JR dragster & that's no fun.

Garden & Doggie Updates
Here I am w/Gidgett the foster Chihuahua. We had her for about 10 days & then a family took her for a trial week. They returned her over the weekend while Michelle was at her class reunion. However, she has a great new home lined up & will be staying with us until her new people can make it up here from Southern California to get her.
Here I am in a pot of Dahlias & Impatiens that Michelle recently planted. They are all a pretty happy pink color.
Here is the bush Michelle planted with the Great Crocus Experiment crocuses. They still haven't popped up, but the bush is growing fast!
The Nasturtiums & lavender are blooming in the front planter...
And it looks like we will have tomatoes after all! After the spring we had we weren't sure we were gonna get any tomatoes.
Also still blooming in the front planter...
And we have a few apples! Not as many as last year, but again we didn't think we'd get any after the wet, cold spring we had this year.
And look at this planter on the front porch! Michelle loves the little pink flowers and the geranium has been blooming like crazy this year. I'm gonna have to be better about prompting Michelle to do MY blogs & not just HER blog...but we have been crazy busy lately. Hope everyone else is having a great summer too!

June Bears
Michelle has been busy making bears! These are the four blankie bears she has done so far for Children's Services...she's almost done w/a fifth & made one for her friend for an upcoming baby shower (more later). She's got her July Mother Bear Project bear done, and here's next week's Angel for Hope angel. As you can tell two of the blankie bears are "scrappy" bears, but sometimes those turn out the best!

Good Bears of the World
Michelle & I joined Good Bears of the World! Michelle is a Member at Large & I'm a Booster, since we don't have a den closer than Portland, we'll just be our own den. Right now we're going to try to save up enough money to buy a case of Good Bears to donate to the Women's Crisis Center, since we already donate blankie bears to Child Welfare. I also got an award for patience, cuz my paperwork got lost in the shuffle & they had to find it & sign me up.
