Day 342

March 29

Today was a blast!  We went on an historic train from Hood River down to Parkdale, only 10 miles from the base of Mt Hood. They did an old time western show about whiskey bootleggers trying to smuggle whiskey on the train. We had a fantastic lunch at Solera Brewery - a really nice wild rice veggie burger they make right there. I even found a letterbox not far from where the train stops. On the way home, we had dinner with my brother and his wife, then almost got locked inside a cemetery in Oregon City, going after another letterbox too close to dusk.

Day 341

March 28

A beautiful but drizzly day along the Columbia Gorge. We drove over to Multnomah Falls, did some more letterboxing, went to the Cascade Locks, the Bonneville Dam,  the fish hatchery,  and just had fun.

Day 340

March 27

Busy week this week, getting everything caught up before we head out for a fun anniversary weekend trip. Someplace different this year, rather than the Oregon Coast like always. This year we're heading to Hood River, along the Columbia Gorge. Never been there before, but it sounded like fun! We left early Friday morning so I could do some letterboxing on the way to Portland. Our first stop was at a little cemetery in Grants Pass.

Day 314

March 1

Charlie has spent the last few days refinishing a book case my grandpa built for me almost 25 years ago, shortly after I graduated from academy. It's gorgeous!

Day 304

February 19

I started this jigsaw puzzle last Sabbath. I've worked on it here and there, and finally finished it this evening, with Charlie's help. He usually doesn't help with them.

Day 279

January 25

Making fresh from-scratch portabella ravioli with Charlie.

Day 133

Date night! Dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant, followed by mini golf and air hockey.  Charlie beat me at mini golf, both rounds.  But I beat him at air hockey,  both games!

Day 110

I worked on Charlie's sash today. All I can say is, thank goodness for Badge Magic!

Day 61

We didn't get dessert on our date last night, but we went to Trader Joe's and picked this up, so we're continuing our date tonight at home. Lol...

Day 60

Date night... We sent the kids to the baby sitter... In Utah. ;)
