Loretta

It hit me like a brick.  The littles and I needed to make a trip to Yacolt.  In our family Loretta is always the one who comes and tells us about who is really sick and who died.  I kind of thought that Gayle might have called her, but we needed to go see her.
So after work and care house the littles and I drove on out to the Lair.  No one answered the door, but all the lights were on and the fire was a blazing.  So we went around back and saw those Scottish cows that are so cool looking.  The cows all mooed at us.  Walked back out front and saw lights on out in the shop.
Walked down there and found Harvey.  He called Loretta and she came home from next door. She was shocked to say the least.  She had just seen Dave a couple of months ago.  She had stopped by and he was on his way out to get the littles.  They had a nice but short conversation.
He had been out to her house a couple of months before that on the bike.  She wasn't home but he saw Harvey.  Just keeping in touch.
She just tells the most amazing stories and is just a warm person.  The littles were quite impressed with her stuffed bear.  I like him too.
I'm so glad we went and spent the time with her and Harvey.  She was glad we came also.  Hugs all the way around.
