An Outing to Oregon

Lia and I just returned from a little road trip to Salem, Oregon to visit my good friend, Marianne, and her family who recently moved there. Marianne and I date back to the freshman days in the dorms. We shared many a fun times together in college and have kept in touch during the years since. Lia and I had such a great two days down there enjoying Marianne and her family, the beautiful weather, their gorgeous home and countryside where they live, and some delicious food. Man, can Mar and her hubby cook!! Lia became best buds with Hannah who is only a year and a half older and enjoyed big brother, Josh, in the evening when he was home from school. Thanks, Marianne, for a fabulous visit!


Mar and I and the next generation.

Making "soup" in the front yard.


Searching for bugs to put in the soup (a crucial ingredient).

Bathing together.

Hannah doing Lia's nails. What a pal.



Throwing rocks in the Willamette River.

Riding the carousel together.

Good times were had by all in Oregon...especially the young ones.
