Verdena:

At the time I bought this house (1969) there were truck farms all around me.  Not any more!  The only one remaining grows strawberries year round.  Where we used to buy tomatoes: Ticky Tacky, K-Mart, IHOPand more Ticky Tacky.  Where they grew celery: Ticky Tacky.

Yes, Doug lived in Aurora for several years.  The history of that community is quite interesting.

Canby?  Never heard of it.

  Cecil,
  Guess I didn't quite have the words right but that is the song that I meant.  It seems that your brother used to live in Aurora which is of great historical value in Oregon BTW.  Anyway, close to Aurora is the town of Canby.  The farm where we used to go to buy broccoli, potatoes and other vegetables has houses and more houses all over it now.  Last year I think they still raised a few onions.  The housing development has the same name as the farm did.  The place in Elsie sounds great.  My husband used to log over there.  His father did the old horse logging-without the diapers of today I believe.  The sons, nine of them, were all involved in logging while they were still in grade school.
