Mauri and I had a rare outing yesterday. We drove into Portland and up to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Here’s the view from up there:
We went to see our young friend Zachary, who’s been there more than three weeks. That’s a long time to be in ICU, attached to tubes and ventilator. Zach and his family [...]

This morning, a Sunday!, I was dressed and ready for the day at 7:30. With the family dinner setup already accomplished, I had one of my rare opportunities to sit out on the back deck in the cool of a morning to read or just sit. I chose to make a little progress in Wendell [...]

Tomorrow we’ll celebrate the two-year anniversary of our bike “mishap.” Our little crash pales in comparison to the catastrophes other people suffer, and that’s the very reason we celebrate. Yes, it was traumatic; yes, we both continue to have “issues” resulting from it. But when we drive down that same hill on North Valley Road [...]

He also sends me pictures of food he’s about to eat. Most of them include oysters in some shape or form. For now, I’m sticking with birds.

Today was a day of music. In this morning’s worship service the folk ensemble led us in several traditional carols and a fun rendition of “The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy.” Later in the afternoon I went over to hear a Tom Fettke cantata, “Love, Joy, Peace,” performed by some folks who live at [...]

The battery-operated candles are in all of the front and side windows. They come on by themselves at dusk and go off by themselves at dawn. Talk about low-maintenance Christmas decor! At least in the evenings the Macy house looks festive. Mauri and I are getting ourselves in the Christmas spirit as well. Take a [...]
