This past weekend we had visitor #5, a Miss Nancy Marshall in town for a visit (conveniently over Mother’s Day weekend). It was a really great time having her out here.

The ladies had a good Friday filled with some herb gardening while I worked.

Saturday we trekked to the other side of Mt. Hood to visit some Marshall family friends, Bill and Demi Brackmen. They have seven acres that they built their “dream” home on a year and a half ago and it really is a pretty amazing home. It really reminded me of Tao of Steve if anyone’s seen that. Unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures of the house.

Beautiful Oregon Sky
The geography of Oregon can change dramatically.
While there we went on a hike out to some waterfalls by their house which were really incredible.

I think it's interesting how both their legs are crossed.
Aww...

For Mother’s Day we headed into the Columbia Gorge for a hike near Maltnomah Falls. It was about a 4.5 mile hike and we saw 3 or 4 water falls. The peak of the hike was to Triple Falls (followed by Horsetail and Ponytail Falls). Really an awesome hike and a great example of how living out here has its advantages.

Nancy had just thrown my keys into a tree. That trickster.

It was a great weekend having her out. Coincidence that the weather has been amazing for both of the mother’s trips?
End of a wonderful weekend.
