Karl leaves for Oakridge and look what happens...

Clark and Rachel come to visit.  It was fast a fun couple days.

Sunday it was a shrimp boil, chocolate popcorn and the family conference call.

Monday was a beautiful fall hike

...to Mary Jane Falls.

Then we squeezed in thriftstore shopping and Grilled Pizza.

 Tuesday...

  we watched the planes land while we waited for Karl's to touch down.

 Then we went out for one of our Culinary Adventures...

 

CRAWFISH!

My dinner is looking at me...

 

 Ummmmm.

 Shrimp too.

 It was very spicy and somebody's nose started to run. 

 .

(Wiping noses is no longer my job...I turned that over to their wives.)

We finished up our few days together

with guitar pickin' and needle stitchin'...

What a fun time!
