I am alive

Yes, I am alive. I have just been really busy with not many exciting postable things. I did, however, go down to Oregon to visit my aunt and uncle this past weekend. I haven't seen seen them since '03 when they were in MN so it was nice to see them. I got there friday evening so we just had dinner and then played cards. My uncle likes to tell stories so he told me lots about my dad growing up and what a brat he was and about my grandparents who I never really knew. Saturday we went for a drive along the Rouge river and saw lots of people rafting and fishing and stuff. Sunday we went to Crater lake which was very pretty. Unfortunately it was a little overcast so we didn't get the full wonder of the lake but it was still nice to see. I would like to go back and do some of the hiking around there that I didn't get to do since my aunt and uncle are getting pretty old. Their son came along and it was the first time I've met him since all my cousins are so much older than me. It was interesting. Lol.

Here are a few pics. The first is an area on the Rouge river that is referred to as the gorge.


The next few are of Crater lake.
