As we were taking a walk on Sunday we saw these three homes, which used to be rentals at McMenamins, being moved up Century Drive on their way to a new location. A birthday selfie on our upper deck.

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. In early June we planted all our pots. Kelly did the two in front of our house and they've gotten a lot of attention from people walking by. June 18th we went to the Fermentation Celebration in the Old Mill District. Kelly's getting a sample from the Silver Moon Brewery booth. Here we are with Jason enjoying a few tastings. The flags on the Old Mill District foot bridge got changed out to celebrate gay pride. Here we are with Norman and Paul at the Bite of Bend later that night.
