First Weekend of Summer

Our first weekend of summer felt nothing like summer. Especially for Heather. She had to work on Friday (internship) and because Scott was done, he tagged along with her up to Portland. While she drove around and did Music Therapy stuff, he went to Lloyd Center, bought a new video game, saw Pirates of the Caribbean, traveled by Max out to Gresham, and read his new book "The Copper Scroll." That evening, Heather continued her busy Friday with Good Shepherd Orchestra Rehearsals for the Patriotic Services. Scott enjoyed a Potluck for the Czech Team's Farewell Dinner. On Saturday we were blessed with some down time to take a stroll in the country around the Overby's home. That evening was the Patriotic Service which was very well done as usual. Good Shepherd definitely does a really good job in honoring our veterans. Heather had the honor to play the Oboe in the orchestra for the services. It was a lot of hard work, but always well worth it. It was after the Patriotic Service in 2003 that I (Scott) asked Heather out for our first date. Sunday, Heather was back at Good Shepherd for more services. Scott got to take Steve, Sue, and Seth Overby to the airport to go to the Czech Republic. We had the privilege to go last year, and unfortunately we were not able to go this year. Soren and Sarah Overby are also on the team. After the services and taking family to the airport we were able to enjoy lunch with Heather's family! Beth, Gavin, and Andrea are up from Arizona, so we had lunch with them, Gene and Cinda, Aunt Rosie, and Auntie Joyce. It was a lot of fun having everyone together. Usually it is only for the holidays, but Beth and the kids weren't around for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter this past year. Now we're home and gearing up for another week of work. Heather is 3 weeks away from being done with her internship. Scott is starting summer school tomorrow. He will be teaching for McMinnville High School's summer school for the next 4 weeks. Thanks for checking our blog. Until next time, enjoy your summer.
