Well, this was a surprise

Our love story was published in The Oregonian for Valentine’s Day.

Cooper Mountain Nature Park

Cooper Mountain Nature Park was an excellent surprise on a warm and dry Saturday afternoon.

Winter snow and ice are dangerous and beautiful.

Park managers today are doing a good job of telling a more accurate story.

The Giant Pumpkin Regatta began in Tualatin in 2004 and from what you will see in the photos, has become a very big deal.

This year we decided on a “Staycation,” in other words, a vacation at home.

Whew! We did it. And I pulled it off as Captain.

This post wraps up the stuff I wanted to talk about from Pedro’s work trip to D.C. that I didn’t fit in an earlier post.

My friends instantly changed plans so that they could help me with the UHaul. God bless real friends.

I got to spend some one-on-one time with one of my nephews before Pedro and I drove him back home to Montana.
