Congratulations Dad. .

It was an amazing day today. . My 92 year old dad drove his 90 year old Model T (1927) to the Return To Renton Car Show.   For the past 4 years it has been a labor of love for him doing many of the repairs himself. He told us that this car is a twin to his first car which he bought when he was 15 years old for $12.50.  We were all so excited today when he won first place in the Pre-40 Division.   You can see the smile on his face.  Congratulations Dad!

Sweet Agatha

We love having chickens at the shop. Kids can gather the eggs, they can talk to them and they talk back. One of the chickens that held a special place in our hearts was Agatha. Agatha was blind. The chickens usually live a year at Wade Creek House before coming to live on our farm and Agatha did live on the farm for awhile.  But being blind on 7 acres did not work well.  She was safer in a contained environment.  She has done well the last few years. All the gals at Wade Creek House would make sure Agatha got put in the chicken house in the cold times, fed her scratch grains by taping a pan on a concrete block, and would give her a love almost every day. It was sad yesterday to find that Agatha had passed away. We will miss you sweet Agatha.. RIP

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Have a wonderful day and stay safe.  Wade Creek House Antiques is OPEN today from 10a - 6p. We will be walking the Estacada 4th of July Parade this morning starting at 10 and will have a booth at the Timber Festival selling raffle tickets for the Estacada Garden Tour Fundraiser for our Estacada Senior Community Center Meals On Wheels Program.  We will also have a Silent Auction at our Timber Festival booth auctioning off wonderful donations from other businesses to help raise money for this great cause so stop by.  Happy 4th.
