Our Trip to Oregon 2019
We headed to Oregon in August 2019. Took off on Friday, August 2 (leaving the pooch with the family we got her from). We spent our first night in La Grande. Drove by the old family home at 1005 L Avenue. Looking pretty scroungy. And now painted green and completely overshadowed by those huge trees. Grandpa Hiatt would be appalled. Quite a contrast from how the house looked in 1992.... It was the Union County Fair weekend (always the first weekend in August), and on the way to dinner we stopped and watched a bit of the Fair parade as it made its leisurely way down Adams Avenue. Emma and I practiced our rodeo royalty parade waves. (My arm is in a sling because I busted my collarbone in a tumble down the stairs on July 24.) We spent the night at Stang Manor (the former Baum mansion, where Gen. David Baum and wife Jeanette raised their family. Now it's a bed and breakfast.)
