Our Kyber Cousins in Keizer


My cousin Meg Kyber and daughter Tessa welcomed us to their home in Keizer, Oregon, just north of Salem. Meg is the youngest daughter of my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Jack Shefte. I visited Uncle Jack in his assisted living home in Salem. He still has a smile on his face and a twinke in his eye at 94.


A day trip to McMinville took us to the air museum and adjacent vineyards where they sell Spruce Goose wines. The real Spruce Goose is on display here.


The Willamette Valley is ideal for growing hops . . . you can thank them next time you have a custom brewed beer in a pub.


The Wheatland Ferry is one way to get across the Willamette River. The price is right, too. Just two bucks per crossing.
