December 16-21

Monday's weather was perfect for our annual Magnesia Falls Canyon hike with Pattie and Marc. My cousin Steve joined us as well. We didn't spot big horn sheep but still managed to have a wonderful day.
We helped Jim and Angie decorate their golf cart then enjoyed the golf cart parade of lights followed by hot chocolate in the lower clubhouse.
With snow forecasted for the Siskiyous on Sunday we decided to begin our journey back to Oregon, to celebrate Christmas with family, a day early. We had an uneventful, though long drive, with an overnight stop in Willows, CA with detours at the Olive Pit,https://www.olivepit.com/mobile/ Rogue Creamery http://www.roguecreamery.com/store/and Lillie Belle Chocolates http://www.lilliebellefarms.com/ for some last minute Christmas gifts. Saturday afternoon we arrived at Auntie Aki and Uncle Kay's in Milwaukie, OR where we'll be staying the next 6 nights.Read more
