Pro Chainsaw Carving Competition 2012

 Steven and I went to Reedsport to the Oregon Pro Chainsaw Carving Competition, it was the first time we had ever attended. It was pretty awesome..loud and dusty, but fun. It was HOT too, so that was an added bonus! We wondered around for a couple of hours and then headed home...we made a stop at the Gardiner Cemetery, that story is coming soon!

Memorial Day Thoughts

It is the Veteran, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to assemble.
It is the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Veteran who salutes the flag.
Thank you all.
