It's old home week in Portland! We are finding ourselves enjoying all the things we have been missing for 4 months! Debby couldn't wait to get back to school to see her Second Graders and be mobbed with hugs and questions! I have been relaxing at home sorting photographs and trying to fix stuff. Wanting to head for the Gorge to do some hiking but trying to logistically figure that out; not to mention the inclement weather of wind, rain and snow we are having!
We will be in this area for two or three weeks. We have appointments to be poked and prodded by doctors and dentists for various old age symptoms. With Christmas just around the corner, we have shopping to do, gifts to wrap, and parties to attend. Then there are the grand kids! We have school events like Home Coming, pancake feed, Basketball games and hugging parties to attend. I have invitations to get together with friends who have actually missed me! So much to do and so little time to do it!
Although it looks like it will be a rainy Christmas this year, it was snowing this morning with large puffy flakes. The upper elevations are getting more sticking to the ground and the mountains are getting hammered with several feet of new snow! That should help our Orchards next summer and provide beautiful mountain backpacking in August!
It's all good!
