Snow at the River

With snow on the valley floor, the whole fam damily opted out of driving out to the River House for Christmas (observed) and instead stayed in Corvallis. Given the weather conditions, it was still necessary to check on the house - Make sure the pipes haven't frozen, the water system is working, etc. Sam drove there, his truck clad in chains, December 18 and returned the 19th with reports and photos of a winter wonderland at the Wilson River, plus no damage to the house to boot. He snapped these photos while there.

Wilson poses (ferociously) by the "beware of dog" sign.

I spent Monday night at the River with Dad and Wilson. The weather was pretty nice, although there was some intermittent rain. We watched a couple of movies, made good food, and put together this blog while we were there. Also split up the bulbs of some plants in a bed along the river side of the garage, some of which I got to take home for outside planters.

What a View!

Sara's River House Weekend - September 2004

This is a picture from last September that I haven't thought to share with anyone until now, courtesy of Liz C. She took the picture leaning against the house it self, so this is the view three feet away from the house as well as through the front picture window. Pictured are some of the folks from my 2004 River House Weekend: Val, Ajai, Adrienne, Liz, Chris, Patrick, Robin, Me, and Mauri. This year's trip is September 2nd!

A New View of the River House

I found this image on Google Maps. The arrow is pointing to the house, which looks over the S-curve of the river.
