The front porch faces west, and the back deck faces east. The picture actually faces Northwest.

Morning all

Man alive I love the sunshine, don't care if it's 20 below as long as the sun is shining. Don that view is awsome, all I get to look at are the mountains that ring the valley, only saving grace in this festering................! OOOOPS sorry too early for that. It is a beautiful day and I am glad to be able to experience it. I guess I have a soap box too. Kinda cool OLD 93 JUNK on his in the west, me on mine in the north east. How about it OZZ you in the south, and we can all holler at each other. Maybe the deaf and blind S-Bs from Salem can hear us while they're on vacation in Bend. Enough soap box. Hope you all have a good day. Thankyou and good night. OBCB

Hi all,

Cold here this morning! 64 on Sunday and 14 last night!

Don, did you ever know the Laney family? My Aunt and Uncle lived up around Condon for years, as far as I know cousin Bud is still there.
