Around About
By Justine ITeatherford
In two day* September arrives and we hope its entrance doean't mean the
ending of summer weather which was to slow to reach Morrow County
Thu year 's August hat whizxed by more quickly than any month 1 recall
For me a variety of activities made the time fly estra fast-first the great
week at the Ashland plays, then a moat delightful weekend at Sun River
which was followed by helping with preparations for our county fair, then the
fair itaelf and the Saturday parade and weekend rodeo
Sunday. Aug 1». Helen Cumn and I drove north and west across
Washington State We enjoyed a repeat look through Chateau Ste Michelle,
the largest winery in Washington, as we moved on to Yakima for a one-night
visit in Karla Weatherford Weaver's home
Tuesday we two Morrow County grandmothers traveled to Tacoma and
Port Orchard via Snoqualmte Pass, Snoqualmie Falls and Monroe and
Snohomish. Washington Helen spent three nights in suburban Tacoma with
her suter in law Manan Knotts, and 1 spent three nights with my older son
Koss Haberlach and hu family at Port Orchard
Last Friday we decided to take the White Pass through the lovely wooded
area north of Mt Hamer to gel back to Yakima When we stopped to buy
some sack lunch goodies in a super elegant, very large store at Enumclaw.
we chatted with another shopper who urged us to take a side trip off Highway
410 up to Sunrise Park near the 7.U00 foot level on Mt Hamer So we lunched
in the fine picnic area near timberline after viewing the very educational
exhibits in the Visitors Center We were glad we has sweaters to warm us at
that high elevation as we watched the clouds drift across the face of the
mountain, alternately revealing and obscuring its peak
Our drive down from Sunrise along the Naches River was over quickly,
then we spent another night at the Weaver'home before coming on to our
homes on Saturday carrying along a box of Yakima peaches and a box of
Hermiston tomatoes
I'd been thinking this could be a fairly quiet week at home with some time
to reorganize my house, to try to improve my garden and yard and to write
letters to family and friends, but I was unexpectedly invited to go to the
( iregon State Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday and that suited me fine So
Jane Kawlins and I took off quite early on August 28 I had already
confirmed plans to attend the Gilliam County Fair next weekend Saturday.
Sept 8. where Marion and la-ona Weatherford are being honored as Grand
Marshals Now I shall soon be able to write a quick comparison of four 1984
fairs-L'matilla s. Morrow's, the State's and Gilliam's
Not all of my friends agree with my philosophy "Go when you can” ,
however, last Sunday morning when I was watching CBS T V ’s ' Sunday
Morning ' I was delighted to see and hear that terrific Black American
entertainer Ben Vereen saying We re not supposed to sleep through life, but
to live through life."
It is so thrilling for me to be watching young folks developing particularly
the ten w ho call me "Grandma " Now I am (flighted to know that my oldest
granddaughter Anita Haberlach, just 14. has been an outstanding soccer
player since the fifth grade and is now playing in a 18-year-old league in the
Auburn-Federal W ay Seattle area She will go with her team to Canada next
week to play near Vancouver She expects to be on the team at Thomas
Jefferson High School at Federal Way this year Anita is a goalkeeper
Although I've thoroughly loved every minute of my travels around Oregon
and Washington this summer. I'm always glad that I have a home in
Heppner waiting for my return, where I have caring, thoughtful and helpful
friends and neighbors
Within this year this column has changed from a weekly item to a
once a month schedule However I have made exceptions like the weeks I
told you of my big trip to New Zealand. Australia and French Polynesia I
am planning another exception next week when I expect to give my thoughts
about the four fairs I've attended and a few paragraphs about coming fall
activities
