Dear ,

    Wayne

I am closing in on it. One more bridge to draw and we can finally send our 2014 "Oregon Covered Bridges" calender to the printer! Last fall I promised they would be available this spring. It's going to be tight, but I think we can do it.

 

This newest bridge, Drift Creek Bridge in Lincoln County, Oregon, is a special one. I hope you will take time to read some of the articles Kathy linked to in the article below; then go visit the bridge. Unlike some, this one is near the main road and well-marked if you are watching for it. You may miss the tiny community of Rose Lodge where it is located on Oregon Highway 18; though, if you aren't careful.

 

If you purchased one of our 2013 calendars you may have noticed we tried to giive you a couple of extra days for your enjoyment... February 29 & 30. Hope it worked better for you than it did for us. We were a bit surprised as the end of the month approached. We are sorry for any inconvenience it might have caused. You can bet we will proof more than the picture pages in the future.

 

Don't know about you, but we are ready for some spring here! Hopefully you are beginning to see a few signs where you are. Enjoy them; spring is coming!

 A Little Bridge with a Lot of History

 
  Give all your worries and cares to God,

If you are looking for Drift Creek Bridge, you won't find it spanning Drift Creek; it isn't there anymore. In 1997 it was dismantled and moved to its present location just off Hwy 18 about 5 miles east of Hwy 101. There, it was reconstructed across Bear Creek; so, it is occasionally referred to as the Bear Creek Bridge. The bridge is considered by some to be the oldest of Oregon's covered bridges. It has had an ...

We knew the call was coming, but that didn't make it any easier to receive. Another of our "Compassion Kids" has graduated from the program. Silvia from Bolivia has completed her 12th grade education. We sponsored her in 2009 at the age of 15. It is hard to believe she will be 19 in September! We are going to miss her letters.

 

On a happier note, we now have twins! We adopted 2 little grey & white tabby kittens at the end of January. We are really enjoying them, but they are in no way ready to take Pooh's place on the art desk. Fuji, the little girl on the left, is a little tornado who loves to shread paper. Her brother, Haiku is a little easier-going, but would love to catch the pen. They are so fun, but don't let the sleepy heads fool you. They are resting up for the next whirlwind. It is impossible to take an unblurred photo of them any other way. They are definitely not ready to sit quietly and watch the artist at work!
