| Each
year, on the FIRST SUNDAY IN AUGUST, Ruthie and
Dick Burgoine host a reunion of the Cannells-of-Simi
Clan at the farm on which Ruthie grew up. The farm
Spring Glade Acres, was the home of her parents,
Robert Ford and Susan Cannell Ford. |
 |
 |
Many
of us remember fondly visits to the farm during
our growing up years. All the wonders of the place....including
the barn which smelled deliciously of cows and hay.
Everyone brings a bit of food for a big potluck
and generally the eating begins around 2pm. Visiting
begins as early as folks can make it!
Folks bring pictures and enjoy sharing them. |
| There
is a horseshoe pit and some fierce rivalry. |
Some like to take a walk after eating....and
those industrious souls get their picture
recorded by the mailbox at the entrance to
the farm. |
|
 |
We encourage all of you with family ties to the
Cannells-of-Simi to join us at the next reunion....the
FIRST SUNDAY OF AUGUST! |

Directions
from Gaston to Spring Glade Acres:
The main HWY thru that area is HWY 47 which runs
N/S between Forest Grove and Gaston...
...So which ever way you are headed on it, you will be
turning WEST at the sign which says PATTON VALLEY/CHERRY
GROVE...(coming from Gaston toward Forest Grove you
would turn LEFT...
When you first turn off 47 you are on a little cutoff
road which is about 4/10s of a mile and then you come
to SW Patton Valley Rd and you will go to the LEFT...

NW Mt. Richmond Rd, which is on your LEFT. It starts
out paved but turns to gravel and you can see it stretching
ahead of you up the hill.
Travel 2.5 miles on Mt. Richmond Rd and then at
a big intersection, make a hard RIGHT down onto
NW Ford Rd. It is 6/10s of a mile to the mailbox...AND

SEE YOU THERE!
I am looking on the map and seeing that the HWY 47 runs
right through Yamhill which is of course another way up
to Spring Glade....but I think it is much nicer to travel
along N on 47 to Gaston....... and I am not just saying
that because I have already typed those directions!! :-)
