Arrived
Safe in Portland, had lunch, getting settled in here at Nuevo Rancho Lake. Someone has tidied up; someone has baked an apple pie. Who, oh who? 
(thanks Shelly! Yum!)
Jay was so thrilled to see me that he has had to go lie down. 
No, seriously, he is just taking a little nap before we get on to the rest of our festivities–a walk, his first shower since Wednesday’s procedure (which may be a challenge with this bandaged finger, but we will prevail!), and then a family party this evening. So I thought I might as well blog now, since I probably won’t get another chance.
Tomorrow we’re up to Seattle; Sunday back here; Monday I fly back home. Go go go!
