I did a search today and found an article about us and the Oregon Caves Chateau on the National Parks blog. It has been there for a few months; not sure how I missed it. It is nice to be part of the history of our West!
As we unload, a crowd gathered!
Delivery day at the caves was the best delivery anytime; people were so excited to see the furniture!
Mitchell explains how to care for the new cushions . . .
. . . to a full house! Wonderful reception!
Mitchell and Menno and all the newly restored chairs around a table.
I wanted to keep the Spanish Red A-Frame. . .
One note: All those quotes attributed to me (Kate) which I would happily have attributed just to me really came from our notes and conversation with the NPS folks; some were Mitchell’s. Neither of us cares — jes’ sayin!
