2008: January - May

The months have flown by in 2008.
In January 2008, we got six inches of snow, for western Oregon that is a lot, in fact, the most we’ve had in about 10 years (left neighbor's red barn peeks through snowy trees in our backyard).
Pictured right: LJ with Lily and Harry playing in the snow. Sadly Lily, the black lab who found us last fall, was hit by a car and killed in April 2008. We all miss her blythe spirit and loving nature.
In February Bob skied and Lottie snowboarded over at Mt. Bachelor in eastern Oregon. This is where we’re used to seeing the snow.
Above is LJ Undecided. For the spring formal at his high school, he couldn’t decided who to ask, so he took two of his friends.

On their recent visit to Oregon (from Iowa), Mat, Nancy and Phil Duey at Haceta Oregon beach.

Although Eugene’s Saturday Market began in the 1920s, it got stuck in a time warp somewhere around the late 1960s. Nancy & Phil posed in front of the Happy Hippie Hula Hoops booth on Market day: possible retirement business?

So, there you have it--highlights for the Oregon Dueys 2008. We're looking forward to our August trip to NC, and hope to have lots of photos to post throughout the summer.
