Happy New Year!

What noteworthy things have happened in the last ~ 4 months? Too much time spent on medical issues, for sure, some plumbing issues to boot on top of those. But it wasn't all bad, of course:

We had a fun walk on Mt. Tabor with
Corie and Jody in a downpour.

Met some of the famous Portland frogs at a 'No Kings' protest in Wilsonville.

Coffee was a recurring theme, as it has been all year:

And then Christmas happened! 

The Portland International Race Track

Rayne kept us great company
throughout as well, of course.

The weather - on balance - was pretty dry, which was great for lot's of little day hikes in our local parks, though the flip side has been low snow conditions on Mt. Hood, so no skiing on New Years Day this time - can't have everything.
