This morning we left Arlington Washington and drove down to Portland Oregon. We stopped in Olympia, Washington's capital, and at the Farmer's Market bought breakfast - great fresh fruit: peaches, apples, plums. We also bought lunch - cucumbers, grape tomatoes and a great loaf of garlic and rosemary French bread. Upon arriving in Portland at 3 [...] Dorothy sent this in an email, and when I asked, was gracious enough to allow us to share it here. Come on over and join us anytime you like. We've made new, lifelong friends while in New Westminster. Dan and Heather O'Keefe had us over for dinner earlier in the month.

This afternoon we reconnect with Kathy, an aspiring virtual assistant who attended the Client Communication Clinic last Friday. We'll be meeting her at a Waves Coffee Shop at 2:30 in North Vancouver on Lynn Valley Road. I [...] We're off to Hoquiam, Washington, leaving tomorrow morning. (I didn't know where it was either.) We leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow, drive 12 hours, and stay with Ralph and Kelly and their kids. We will eat. We will play music. We will have peace. Funny how things kept bouncing around, not knowing where they were going [...] . . . and so I said "I was thinking about how much less it might cost to live if we didn't have a house or a car . . . " How many wives would even have that conversation? Mine did. It's been less than 96 hours, and so much has happened that I don't have time [...] |
