What's new????










Pageantry from the Pendleton Round Up
In this neighborhood, this is the week of the World Famous Pendleton Round Up.  It is a sight to behold at least one time, (I have been more often,) unless you happen to be following the Rodeo Circuit or a specific person, I imagine.  Personally, I love the pageantry presented by the Native American's.  Thus, a couple of photo's to give a hint, although by far, not the best representation.  Many of the regalia were worn by ancestors and passed down.  Others are designed and worn during ceremony by their current owners.  All undoubtedly represent hours and hours of craftsmanship to complete.
Not to slight all the incredible cowboys, performers, and even the stock animals brought to an event of this magnitude, it is fitting to say all give it their best with  preparation, endless time and apparently devotion.  
And......quite possibly,  facing danger and damage,ie injury!  Below are from a previous rodeo at Helix, Oregon.










Decided to share a piece of the locale while fresh in my mind, having been invited by my son to take in one segment of Pendleton's Show yesterday.  Hope you enjoy this different sort of 'Art & Craft.'
Time is approaching for the Christmas Bazaars to begin preparation.  Intend to participate in a couple of the local ones and do need to return to my room in order to accomplish that.  Anyone else in the same dilemma?  Like we have not been keeping up with our ourselves?
Therefore, tune in from time to time for more frequent updates.
Until then, do stay safe and take good care.

Thanks, Carol. So colorful with the Native Americans and so dangerous with the Rodeo events! Hope you both are doing alright as we head into fall.
