T - v FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, May 19, 1977 - - 1 About with Justine Weatherford Have you ever noticed the title "Sonshine Bus" painted across the back of the sunshiny, gold-colored bus belonging to the Christian Life Center? It makes one think. My Mother's Day in Medford was very pleasant. Driving there, I went through snow three times as I crossed three summits, between here and Spray, over Ochoco Pass and across the South Santiam. It was beautiful to drive alone through parts of five National Forests, Umatilla, Ochoco, Deschutes, Willamette and Siuslaw. Only the Siuslaw trees were not dusted with snow. I had opted to visit family and friends at Prineville, between Alsea and Tidewater, in Corvallis, in Medford, Silverton, Portland and Arlington and enjoyed each visit so much. The great, steady rainfall on my homeward journey last week Tuesday was bringing broad smiles to the Gilliam County farmers I visited with. In Medford, I had a telephone chat with Sandy Carlson Richardson, rather recently of this county. She said that she and husband Dan, who left the county appraiser's office here, are nicely settled and like the Rogue River Valley. Sandy reminded me that that area was Dan's home territory and that he is glad to be back there and is happily employed in Medford. My son, Bill Haberlach, took three mothers out to dinner on May 8; his wife Bette, who is a young mother, and me and their neighbor, Rachel Dick's aunt, Esther Jensen, whose grown children didn't get home. We four really feasted at the lovely "Mon Desir" restaurant in the orchard country north and east of town. Ochoco Lake just east of Prineville is much lower than I have ever seen it. Our family there told me that they expect it to be dry before fall. Crook County is very worried about its water supply. At Corvallis, there doesn't seem to be any water worry, and at Medford, folks think they will manage OK. One very community-minded Heppner High student, Bobbie Devine, came to the library last week to ask how she could help out. She says she will come as soon as school ends and volunteer her time. This last weekend, husband Bill and I visited one of the most fascinating ranch homes I have ever been in. It is about 15 miles from Heppner, and everything about it pleased me. Especially exciting were the birds around the house and farm buildings. The generous ranch wife gave me a handful of beautiful feathers as we left, which I shall really treasure.
