#12-9 Pool Party at Jeff & Kirsten’s, Mark in shop, Burl Museum in Kerby–July 22 thru July 29

We arrived in the Rogue Valley to nice warm weather.  We parked at Cypress Grove RV Park the first week, then moved to Valley of the Rogue State Park.  Only one week was available at Cypress Grove.  It is a busy RV park.  But, really nice and right off the freeway between Rogue River and Central Point.  Perfect place for us.  We had lunch with Terena, our granddaughter, who worked at the Foots Creek Deli, and then went back the next night for Taco Tuesday!  She will only be working through the summer and then will be attending College in Klamath Falls.

Mexican Fiesta day at Jeff and Kirsten’s.  A nice hot day for a swim in the pool.  The gals lounged on the beach end of the swimming pool while the guys did the serving.  Most of the dishes were pre cooked, so worked out great.  Uh, I guess you can see that when it got too hot we were shaded by an umbrella.  Thanks!!

100_9238 Hurry up, Mark and clean up the shop.  It is time to go home to Wimer and all your girls!

Check out this golf cart.  It’s really woodsy!  Can you imagine any golf course in the desert letting this on the course?
We had lunch with Jeff in Cave Junction at Taylor’s sausage.  A very famous meat place in the Valley.  He was on duty and got a call just as we were finishing our lunch, so he left in a hurry.  We meandered down the road toward Grants Pass, and decided to stop in the little town of Kerby and visit this Burl Gallery.  What a surprise. Lots and lots of amazing craftsmanship items, both inside the museum/gift shop and outside.  Almost everything is for sale and some are just masterpieces.  Who would have thought you could find such beauty and talent in the little town of Kerby!
