The Bears in Prosser

As many of you know, we came to Prosser, Washington in April to work for a private RV park. By the first of July, we were asking the Lord for a new direction. As we prayed, we received a call from some people in the church we attend. Would we meet with a friend of theirs who was looking for someone to do care and maintenance on his 1.7 acres on the Yakima River? We met with Warren, and the next day moved our camper onto his property.

We know the Lord brought us here for this purpose. Warren is 79 years old and physically as fit as a fifty year old. He has been a contractor/builder for more than fifty years. This home was his creation and was designed for hospitality. He keeps it immaculate. He also does much of the yard work and continues to work on new homes and home improvement projects. As you may well imagine, he needs help with yard work.

So we are here. We put in at least five hours of yard work five days a week. We also offer meals to this "bachelor" who does not cook. We have wonderful fellowship together. We look forward to more of the same.

Katie Lipp and the Tri-Cities Steel Band

One main reason for our being in the Lower Yakima Valley and the Tri-Cities area this summer is to spend time with our granddaughter Katie Lipp. Katie will be a senior in high school this year. So we are trying to get to as many of her "gigs" with the Tri-Cities Steel Band as possible. The band will be playing again in Prosser during the Balloon Rally (see posting for Fall events).











We've also hiked with Katie and Karen in the Cascades on Snoqualmie Pass.

Relaxation on the Yakima River

We were guests for a pontoon boat ride on the Yakima River. Evenings are cool. The river that evening was calm.
