Our trip to Olga....

There had been a story in the Springfield News Leader about a young couple who had decided to move back to the tiny town he had grown up in & re-open the old country store that had recently closed. This is his g'mother who helps them out in the store. She was taking a break with an ice cream bar.


We were just hoping for a Dr. Pepper & maybe some Cheetos.
This was a sign in the store window. What does one do with a coon when one catches one. They also have music on summer weekends and everyone brings food.

This was one of several chickens who just wondered around on the property.

I loved this old building.

I love it that young people are coming back to small towns looking for a simpler life style. We see people at Leola's regularly who have moved back here because the cost of land and living in general is so much less then so many other areas (especially California).
