Snow Day

The view from our bathroom window this morning
 A winter storm came through and covered Portland and Forest Grove in snow. This morning the sun came out and presented us with the above view. It was hard to stay in and participate in the meetings of the day.
 Still a lot of work to do and yet another meeting, but I snuck out for an hour and drove around the neighbourhood taking pictures.

 It is amazing how much time you have when you don't exercise! I've been sick for a week now and very busy with work. No running. Instead of taking pictures, I would have gone today, but it was just too pretty and all icy anyway.
 A little more fat, but some nice pictures in return. You can see the full album here.

Happy New Year

Chief Kiwanda Rock by Pacific City
Mack and Val had rented a house on the coast for a few days and invited us to visit them and their kids. Lee Ann and I spent New Year's Eve with them and came back home today. A storm was moving in and freezing road conditions were predicted, so we all packed up and came home to beautiful sunshine.
Although the trip was short we had a fun evening playing the Phase 10 card game. It rained quite a bit, but it did open up this morning for a few pictures here.
