TULIP FEST





This week David was on the LAST Spring Break of his life! He is so wonderful and such a hard worker that he chose to put in full days clerking at CIS Monday through Thursday.

So, for us, the week turned out to be pretty ordinary and because of our work schedules we decided we would wait to do something fun until the weekend came around. Well, the weekend came and what would we be blessed with? RAIN!

As we woke up to rain on Saturday morning we decided that our idea of a day at the coast would have to wait (the 40MPH wind gusts were a bit of adeterrent) so we chose to go walk around the Tulip Festival in Woodburn....yes in the rain...but at least there would be no wind :)

We got to the tulip farm and we were greeted with local craft artists, vineyards offering free tastings, and a beautiful field of ...soil! The tulips are not blooming yet.

We had a great laugh about our rain soaked/tulip-less adventure and we drove home on the back highways through the beautiful farms and fields of Oregon!

Tomorrow is once again Monday and we will return to the daily grind of our lives: subbing and Jcrew for Liz while David has classes and work. Our lives are in an interesting transition point, but we are enjoying each week to the fullest while we wait for the next chapters to be revealed to us.

I know it's not very nice, but whenever I need a good laugh, I look at your "Tulip Festival" photos! Not what you intended, I'm sure, but still a day-brightener on this end! Mom/klf
