Day #18 of our adventure Memorial Day May 28, 2012

I am sitting out on Jason & Tera's deck which wraps around three sides of their house.  It is 90 degrees but there is a breeze blowing out here and I am able to pick up their internet from here which is really nice.  Yesterday we had coffee at the Grain Bin with some friends of ours Bob & Elaine Kaufman from Chanute.  Last evening we invited some couples out to Roger Leon & Leta's house to visit and had a meal.  It was nice to see them again.  Below are some pictures:

This morning Lester, Leta and I went to Leta's brother, Larry, down the road and walked 3 1/4 miles on the gravel road.  Below are some pictures of our walk.

The wheat field along the road on our walk.  It is just about ready to harvest.

Leta & I are leading the pack.  Lester & Larry are tagging behind.

The cows were lined up along the fence to watch us walk by.

Believe it or not the boys are back there but they are so far you can't see them.

A flower along the roadside.  Can you see the butterfly on the flower?  We don't see too many butterflies in WA which I miss in the spring.

Larry and I sitting on the steps at his house after our walk.

When we got back from our walk we went to the garden at Leta's dads place and picked some lettuce and radishes.  The pictures below were taken on our way back to Roger's.

This would make a good picture to frame.  This barn in on Leta's dad's home place.  This is where we went fishing on Saturday and picked the lettuce & radishes from the garden.

This is the house that Lester & I built in 1978.  When we left there were no trees around it.  It is just down the road from Roger & Leta's.

Just another view of the house.

When we got to Jason & Tera's today Tera said she had a present for Leta & I and we just needed to hunt and find it.  Tera is very crafty and below is the present she made for us.  Roger & Leta's is the same only the name has been changed to protect the innocent.

She made this out of old license plates and nailed them on wood.  How cleaver.  Thank you Tera!!  Of course Roger & Leta's is ELLIOTT.  Until next time.
