We had a leisurely breakfast at Pete and Kate's. In the garden Libbie and Kate started cleaning up the flower garden, pulling weeds and finding things. In the meantime Peter came home with a 6 point socket set that worked on the shock absorber bolts without slipping. The 12 point set kept slipping on the bolt head. We finally got the bolts off allowing him to install the new shock absorber and put the tires back on the Subaru Brat. Next he is going to replace the front axle.
We went out to lunch at a Golf Club where the food was excellent and the bill not very high. I had a Tuna BLT which had a sushi grade Ahi Tuna and bacon, tomato, lettuce and a large bun. On the side was chips and salsa. It was great although I ended up not eating the bun top since it was a lot of bread.
We then went to the Orchard and Farm house that is owned by David. It's in rough shape and needs lots of work. Everywhere I look on the farm there is work that needs to be done. The kitchen is large but it's a disaster also. I would never sign up for that much work.
We picked a few boxes of peaches out in the orchard and found out they were for us. I thought we were helping to pick peaches for the Farmer's Market. From there we went back to Pete's to drop off the Peaches and the leftover lunch Libbie had boxed. We heard that Barbara, Kate, Andrew and the baby had arrived so we went back to the Farm House and greeted everyone. We then headed down to the Farmers Market where Alma was selling the peaches in their little tent. Kate, Andrew, Barbara and Dave all followed to the little town of Mosier where the Farm Market was and a restaurant called "Press and Cloth". We had interesting vegetarian pizza and beer. We paid the bill which was almost $200. We also met David's tenant pickers. A young couple just touring the country out to meet people. They live in an RV on David's property. I had the peach pizza and the eggplant pizza. Very interesting. Peter had to go into the hospital so Kate accompanied us back to her house giving us directions from the back seat on dark country roads.
