DFC2

The second annual Dorr family campout (aka DFC2) was a resounding success. We spent the weekend at a cute log house near the beach in Lincoln City, on the Oregon coast. Fun activities included flying kites, playing games, making s'mores around the campfire, eating WAY too much food, and just being together. We missed you, Ben, Dave, and Nikki!

A bridal shower for Nikki

Today we attended a bridal shower for Nikki Larson, my dear, future daughter-in-law. The event was held at the home of a Larson family friend, and there were about a dozen of us there to celebrate Nikki's upcoming wedding to our son, David. The top picture is of Nikki and me, the middle picture is of daughter-in-law Beka, daughter Sarah, and daughter Hannah. The bottom pic is of Nikki playing a shower game in which she had to correctly guess answers to questions about Dave that he had secretly provided answers for. For each time Nikki guessed incorrectly, she had to put another piece of gum in her mouth. I think the picture was shot when she had about 8 pieces to chew! It was a very fun time, and Nikki and Dave received many very nice gifts. Can't wait for the wedding!

OK, so what/who is this, anyway???

I have decorated our home for the fall season, and I gathered some acorns to go with the Indian corn and fall leaves I have placed here and there around our house. This morning I noticed that four of the acorns have little holes in them, and tiny piles of "sawdust" gathering on the surface of the table they are laying on. Is something and/or someone living in my acorns? Is this common, or I am just special??? Are there any aspiring scientists out there who would like to hazard a guess? Should I leave these acorns in my house, or will I definitely regret it if I do???
