This last week end was a great week end in the Willamette Valley. The weather was perfect, high 70's low 80's and cool nights. My husband and I started the week end out by a round of golf on Friday night after a relaxing dinner on our deck. It has been such a pleasure eating outside during the summer especially when it is a warm a, but not hot evening. Saturday we drove to Dallas and had a brunch with a few friends from church in our friend's park like backyard. We had a feast of salmon, quiche, bacon, hashbrowns, fresh fruit salad, my homemade cinnamon rolls and more. Then the highlight for me was to go blue berry picking at Briggs Blueberries off Aumsville Hwy. The place had been picked over in the morning, but we still were able to pick 20 pounds of wonderful berries. And hopefully I can go back in a few weeks for more! If you are looking for a good place to get berries and live around Salem check out this website for several places to go in the area. After church Saturday night we decided to go down to Wallace Marine Park in West Salem, take our dog and walk across the foot bridge to the Water Front Park. There had been a motorcyle show going on during the day and there was a remnant of bikes around still. It such a pleasant night for a walk that we hardly needed a jacket. To end the week end my husband golfed first thing on Sunday morning and after lunch we drove up to Vancouver and spent the evening with 2 of our daughters and one son in law, barbecuing on the deck of the married couples first apartment. What could have been better in July- golfing, walking, picking berries, time with friends and time with family. Sounds like summer to me! I enjoyed a week- end off and it is back to work selling houses today!
