Every year I smile over how much the kids have grown. Every year they get to add a few more rides to their repertoire, and cover a little more ground… Riding high in one of the rides… This was a fun attraction. You crawl into a big, plastic ball and try to run on water…think […]

One of our fun traditions is to meet up with our friends, John and Ann, at Qdoba. We were able to enjoy dinner outside and get caught up on each other’s lives. Always a treat and something we look forward to…

We were able to spend an evening with my “little” brother. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant in North Bend, El Caporal. Our friend, Jessie, recognized our car in the parking lot and, yay!, joined us for dinner… After dinner, we went to see my brother’s new home. He is renting a fabulous cabin out […]

A definite highlight of the trip was an afternoon with our two nieces. They are growing up sooooo fast! We had a nice lunch, then a visit to a local business park and bookstore… I love these two precious cuties!
