What we have here is a convoy!

Left Mt Hood yesterday morning for a nice easy drive down to Redmond, OR to the fairgrounds to join with thousands of fellow rv'er's for a fun few days at the Family Motor Coach Assoc rally.  This is our 5th National rally and were were fortunate to get on the grass.  It is only 2400' here but considered high desert and we have been here when temps run over 100!  Very nice day, lovely with slight breeze and pretty blue sky.  Cooled down quite a bit over night so good sleeping and another perfectly lovely day out side!  The FMCA sponsored "movie night" providing free popcorn and lemonade to watch Lucy and Dezi in  "The Long, Long Trailer".  Wonderful movie with so many laughs from audience.  Tonight is special with Debbie Reynolds.  I am very interested in that since I have read her biography and she has been around since I ever remember. ha!  Should be fun.

So many nice and friendly folks here.  Happy to see Viv and Jerry Sullivan are here.  Met them last time we were here in 07.  They were able to bring another grandchild so they are in family section... we still managed a good spot so no complaints here........

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

Hingham, MA

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
