We are Terry & Cathye Kinkelaar. If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that Lydia, my beautiful wife of 52 years, and I made the lifestyle choice to move to Oregon in 2017. You've seen my posts about losing her in May 2020 to cancer. Although I was left alone, I am pleased to say that I have found happiness again. In April 2021, I met Cathye, who also lost her longtime husband in 2020. Well, we fell in love and were married in April 2022. So, if folks are still interested, I will continue to post here as we move forward with our lives and adventures!

Oregon Living 2018 – Blog #4 – The Carousel and Family Time!

 

Sunday, January 7th, 2018…...  Penny’s family got in late last night.  Tim made the trip in 14 hours, driving all the way.  According to sis, they stayed up a while and then finally crashed.  She called this morning and said they were up and getting ready and would come over later. When they arrived, Quincy was excited to see his old friends again!  We showed them our place (Tim had been here before but Cassandra & Lauren were up for their first time) and visited for a while.  Then we all packed in our car and I drove them to the Carousel in Albany.  The kids really enjoyed riding........

and then getting a tour of the carving shop.  It really is interesting to see how the work is done.  There were pieces almost finished, and then some beginning and everywhere in between.

Afterward, we drove to Corvallis to take them to Block 15 for linner. That was a fun time too and we all enjoyed our meals. Thanks Penny! 



Once home, they spent a few minutes playing with Quincy and letting her run and chase Tim’s radio control car. She was more afraid of it so it wasn’t really a chase. They went home and we came in and relaxed from the day’s adventures.    


Monday, January 8th, 2018…...   Happy Birthday Sis!  They called this morning and we made plans for the day.  They are going to go out sightseeing and then we will go over to her house for dinner.  Her bbq is hooked up (mine is set up for city gas which we haven’t line plumbed for yet) so Tim will be cooking the steaks.  We really enjoyed the afternoon. Everything was very good.  Afterward, we played a few games of Spot-It with the kids and then got ready to leave. They will be leaving tomorrow morning so we said our goodbyes and came back home for the evening.
