) with Justine Weatherford ,
The day after 1 ended my official responsibilities at the
Heppner Library I left town for a week and the first week of
July 1978 was an exciting choice for an Oregon and
Washington vacation not too hot, lots of thunder and
lightning, rain, hail and water spouts, fog, floods all with
some scattering of sunshine.
Fortunately I took along a variety of clothing as I drove
east and north about noon on July 1. My first stop was in
Weston at the very large, older "new" home of Charles,
Lesley, John and Will Patching. They are gradually getting
resettled Charles commutes to his work in Pendleton; John
is working nights at the pea cannery ; Will has a large lawn on
the good-sized, corner lot to mow, and Lesley will be
unpacking and arranging possessions for days yet.
After a pleasing chat with all but John who must sleep
daytimes, I drove on to Milton-Freewater and to the Peach
Island, gardened estate of Charley and Dorothy Heard.
There Charley and I rushed about in their very successful
garden picking lucious raspberries before the rain started
coming. Dorothy had recently returned from the State
Garden Club convention and had just narrated an historic
fashion show following the Pea Festival parade which
concluded a short time before I reached M-F.
Rev. Mel. and Nancy Dixon, close neighbors of the
Heards, were not at home when I passed their house, but I
found my long-time friends Bernice and Bill Hinshaw
relaxing in their comfortable abode on the east edge of M-F
where I visited with them during part of the afternoon's
shower. Then I splashed through Walla Walla where I
thought about Bill and Mary Pat Lande and went on to
Dayton, Wash, where I visited with Weatherford-Smith
cousins in their exciting purple house before the long drive to
Cheney via Colfax and Spangle.
My daughter Ann, husband Ray and small son Thomas
welcomed me when I arrived at their new home on Rt. 2
Cheney at 8:00 p.m. amid flashing lightning. Sunday they
showed me some lovely parts of Spokane, attractive
boulevards, beautiful residences with super landscaping and
large, gorgeous Manito Park and the exquisite Nishinomiya
Garden.
Monday morn just after the paterfamilias left for his
architect work in Spokane we started west and south in my
new station wagon which was well loaded with our luggage
plus not-quite-one Thomas's port-a-crib, highchair, back
pack, toys and many changes of clothing. The car radio kept
telling of thunder storms in Washington (later we learned
that the Spokane area suffered damage from the heavy rain
and that many basements were flooded.)
We lunched at Umatilla, stopping briefly at the Marion
Weatherford's home in Arlington and reached my brother's
N.E. Portland home in the late afternoon.
After a reunion and fine over-night visit with the three
resident Peakes and an O.S.U. student daughter home for the
summer and a visiting older daughter from California, we

celebrated the 202nd U.S. Fourth-of-Ju!y by visiting family
members at Clackamas and my 95-year-old uncle, Dr.
Kleinsorge, at Silverton as we proceeded to much-changed
Corvallis our prinicipal destination. The streets I felt so
relaxed about driving on in 1965 are so strange now many of
them have become one-way and several had arrows
pointing toward me.
Daughter Ann and small son spent three nights and days
with a favorite friend while I enjoyed a great visit with my
first cousin Harriet Kleinsorge Turner in her home, near
Harding School. She updated news of town and grown
families, and I saw a few of my old friends and neighbors.
Ann and seven other young matrons from Corvallis,
Salem, Portland and Waldport, along with their growing
children enjoyed reminiscing and I enjoyed watching them
as I tried to help a little by amusing some of the children of
these young mothers I knew so well as teenagers.
We had special visits in Monmouth, along the Alsea
River and at Waldport. We found the western shore of our
country cold, but, as always, fascinating in spite of the fog
and wind there last week Thursday.
On Friday we drove over the evergreen South Santiam,
lunched and shopped at Sisters, and reached the delightful,
hilltop home with a view of a ring of snowtopped mountains,
built by Edythe W. and George Newell just north of
Prineville.
Because our visit there coincided with the Crooked River
Roundup and parade and also with the visit of Republican
gubernatorial candidate Victor Atiyeh and Mrs. Atiyah, we
found the Newells very involved, but nevertheless most
hospitable.
We three travelers dined Friday night in the new S.W.
Prineville home of Mrs. Clifford Real (Eleanora
Weatherford, who was born in and spent her earliest years at
lone.)
As the Saturday Crooked River parade progressed
through Prineville, we three progressed toward Mitchell and
Spray. Over our sandwiches and cool drinks at Spray, I
overheard talk of terrible water damage in Morrow County,
heard that the highway might be closed at Hardman or
Ruggs. However, although we found great evidence of high
water damage when we reached these spots, we had no
problems reaching sunny, warm Heppner.
Ray Chenhall was awaiting his family at my home and
more quickly than I wished transferred their belongings
from my Chev. into his V.W. Then after a quick early meal
and a brief visit with the E.E. Gontys, the Chenhalls headed
back to Cheney.
I really enjoyed the week of visiting and traveling, but
am glad to be in my home again in small, friendly,
rather-slow-to-change Heppner. I felt lucky to have caught
my breath enough to go out to Lena to enjoy the birthday
celebration for 90-year-old Zetta Hager Brosnan on Sunday
afternoon.
Next Sunday, July 16, 1 shall attend the Eastern Oregon
Pioneer Picnic in Julia Henderson Park near Fossil where I
have been especially invited to sit at the Queen's Table with
other members of Queen Daisy's family. Daisy Irby
Weatherford is the widow of Frank my husband's oldest
brother. Her children and grandchildren sent me a very
personalized invitation.
This pioneer gathering is an annual summer occasion
which always honors a woman from a pioneer family. There
will be a morning church service, a program with speakers
who tell of our area's history, and a big potluck, Sunday
dinner. This year more Weatherfords than usual will be
attending to honor Queen Daisy.
CORRECTION AND EXPLANATION
In "Around About" last week you read "Rachel
Harnett's curatorship week afer week and year after year is
most remarkable."
Somehow the original writing got altered from
"Weekend after weekend and year after year." Few persons
would even consider working almost every Saturday and
Sunday for nearly 20 years as Rachel has worked there.
The County Museum is always open, winter and summer,
on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Sundays from
12:30 until 5 p.m., and Rachel has always been there even
on Memorial Day and several other holidays, too.
