Home In Lethbridge

We have dropped into Lethbridge for a couple of days.  When we left the first of May there were no leaves on the trees, but now the trees are leafing out and our tulips are in bloom.  Bob has been fertilizing and watering the lawn and digging at the quack grass in our garden.

We had a wonderful visit to Oregon.  Following are some of our pictures.

 Fort Columbia

Fort Columbia State Park is a 593 acre day-use historical park located at the Chinook Point National Historic Landmark and along 6,400 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Columbia River. Within the park are original U.S. Army Coastal Artillery fort buildings and batteries, active from 1896 to 1947. This area was also home to the Chinook Indian Nation and their famed Chief Comcomly, and explored by Robert Gray and the Lewis and Clark expedition.

The Flavel House

The Captain George Flavel house has captured the luxury and elegance of the Victorian period. This 1885 Queen Anne Victorian home features original Eastlake style woodwork interiors and exotic hardwood and imported tile fireplaces. Enjoy a walk on the grounds and many trees planted by the Flavels over 100 years ago.
