Will I ever get back to blogging??? We've been on a wonderful cruise to Panama, this past November/Dec. Christmas came and went and soon it will be Easter.

I've been working on actual physical (turn the pages type) albums of both the Panama & Mediterranean cruises. That was a request of Don's. I still have the descriptions to put in on the Panama cruise book. Love doing it but it has taken time, 200 pix PER book.

We had a great 70th birthday party for Don on Mar. 6 at Joy Luck Chinese. Family and some friends. He was very pleased.

We are looking forward to some of the family being here for Easter. Always love the Easter Egg Hunt.

One of these days I will get some pix posted.....

Great get away to Pacific Grove for a couple of days of R & R.

Doug's graduation from Culinary School

May 9, 09 We flew to Portland on Friday, met D & V for lunch and then went on a site seeing adventure. We drove east of Portland to Multnamah Falls on the columbia River Gorge. We saw some beautiful sites and it's only about a half hour from the city. Wow, I'm ready to move....hahaha

Saturday was graduation. It was held at the Portland convention center and then the reception was at the school across the river in the heart of town. It was a great event.
