Bob and Phyllis's
Spent a few days with my Great Aunt and Uncle, Phyllis and Bob, in Woodburn, Oregon (just north of Salem). They are the two of the funest octogenarians you’ve ever met. Wish we lived closer.
Bob’s a real artist: photography, watercolors, etc. so every time I visit I try to con him out of a couple pictures. Got a cool painting of some goldfish and another of a green panther this time (Bob’s into a color phase lately). Also tried to weasel two paintings off his wall, one of some colorful trout and the other some frisky horses. Unfortunately my uncle Tim was there vying for them too. For now Uncle Bob’s keeping them right where they are. Come on Uncle Bob you know sometimes Tim annoys you; I on the other hand am the son of your favorite nephew. J Bob also took us to a state park which has a 6 mile round trip hiking path that goes past no less than 10 waterfalls. Here’s a picture of the Southfall.
Phyllis is a real sweety: spoiling us, arguing politics, and playing cards are some of her favorite pastimes. She’s also pretty fun to tease and vice versa. Let me give you a taste. We are sitting around talking about life, family, etc. when Phyllis out of the blue spouts out, “You know I think Clinton is the best president we’ve ever had”. The conversation just stopped, everyone stares at Phyllis and I burst out laughing. You see our conversation had nothing to do with politics or Clinton nor does she doesn’t really think that Clinton is the best president who ever lived. She just wanted to argue politics and she new that statement was something we just couldn’t let lay out there without a response.
Thanks for all the hospitality Phyllis and Bob! We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and pool! After all the boondocking we have been doing over the last few weeks, TV, telephone, hot tub and just some plain old civilization was just what we needed.
We made a date to see them again around December in Yuma, Arizona. They are snowbirds, spending the summers in Oregon and the winters on the Colorado River near Yuma. I’m already looking forward to it.
