LIFE IS GOOD

March has been a big month for me.  I retired last Wednesday from my nursing job at Mt Hood Medical Center in Gresham, Oregon.  I worked there with many wonderful nurses, doctors, pharmacists, housekeepers, volunteers, kitchen staff, security, engineers, admitting staff, materials ......you guessed it... a hospital of greatness.  Not just fellow workers but my family.  I plan on lending a hand when they need it but in the meantime, The Wade Creek House and its members will finally get more of me and I am so looking forward to that.  Plus my husband of 38 years, 2 grandchildren, and our farm.  Life is full.

I love The Wade Creek House and its members.  They managed to throw me a surprise retirement party, and yes I was very surprised.  What a wonderful group of people.  But I love going to the shop.  I love walking thru all the different parts of the house & barn to see what is new.  Always something is new and they always manage to amaze me.  A very gifted group of people.  Here are some things I noticed last time....    


This violin was found in an attic in Molalla. 
 Dated 1927, this handmade violin will no longer play
but would be a great conversation piece or displayed on a wall



Now this is a story too.  I love this beautiful bowl and pitcher.  I took it from this spot to take its picture for the blog.  It is old, well over 100 years old from the Tawney family.  I put it back in this place and when I turned away, it tipped over and the bowl broke!!  Augh!!  The pitcher was fine and remains in the shop...


I met the owner of this sweet bike...   she is as cute as her childhood bike.


"Bedding Down"  Harvey Rattey  1992
A beautiful piece




Fun stacked glass..


Fun Fun Fun



Don and Amber have lots and lots of cool old signs - this is the biggest

So a little of this and a little of that.....


Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music
