September is often beautiful in Oregon. It is this week! We spent a couple nights at the houseboat recently. It is simply the most wonderful place to be.
Everyone should have a get-away. Ours is very small, about 900 sq. feet, two bedrooms (one a guest room for two), one bath, laundry room and living room open to the kitchen. Very simple and that's the key to it staying a great get-away, keep it simply sweetie! A little house, an outdoor deck as big as the house, and a party boat, oh, and a sweet BBQ grill. What more do you need? A hammock? Got one of those too.
We hop on the boat, turn the key and cruise the great Columbia River! We stop by other houseboats and pick up people to ride with us. We sit on the deck in the evenings, start a fire in the chimena, get out the very long forks and roast marshmallows and make smores. Heaven on earth!
Gary's replaced the windows this winter, resided it with carefree vinyl siding, painted the eaves, is getting new gutters put on, lit the new, larger BBQ where the old one was and melted the new lap siding making a section of laps look wavy and replaced the melted siding. We've relocated the new bigger BBQ and fire it up every night we're there.
Wouldn't you like to join us? You're all welcome! Let us know when you can come.
