Saturday 23~~~~ We left this morning heading South stopping in Eugene to visit the Madden"s as we didn't get to see much of them while we were home. Kim and Mike had a prior dinner invitation for dinner tonight, so Kent and I took Matt and Pamela out for pizza and we had a great time with just the grand kids and us. They open up and talk and share more when their parents aren't there and it was real enjoyable. After dinner, Kent drove around and he showed us where he lived as a little boy when he lived in Eugene before moving to Portland and Madras, all in one year. Kent described the apartment he lived in and how he remembered the house across the street where the neighbors killed a chicken one day, he remembered the chicken running around with no head. When we got there, the house and his apt. were exactly as he said it would be, he thought they might be tore down, but they weren't. I imagine back then people raised their own chickens in their own back yards. Mathew, Pamela and I enjoyed going down memory lane with Kent while he told us about his time living in Eugene. Sunday24~~~~ The weather today is pretty chilly here, Kim has another baby lamb, their sheep are all black, and this baby is all white??? They named her snowball! I gave Kim and Pamela hair cuts and I weaved Pamela's hair. She has long thick hair, so it took me a long time to do it but it was real pretty when we got done. Kim fixed us her famous Chicken Alfredo dish she makes for dinner, it was very good with hot bread and salad. Pamela gave her Bunika (Me) a nice manicure and a neck massage for doing her hair, I really enjoyed that. We are leaving for Seven Feathers in the morning where we will stay a couple of nights.
