We have been to Boston’s Pub and Grill in Wilsonville at least a half a dozen times with our friends David and Gladys. Dave was Grandpa Milo’s business partner for several decades in the doll house business and a long board surfer (born and raised in Hawaii). Gladys is, well, she is just Gladys–one of the most loved people in our family. We all agree that Boston’s is a requirement for future. The have awesome (heart UN-healthy) chicken. We need as much time with these folks as we can get.

Here are a few pictures of our time here in Oregon (so far) There are descriptions below the pictures if you click on them!
I was very happy to see Rubix and Kiwi, the twin cat sisters were fine when I arrived home from Oregon last night. It was a great time. My buddies Vernon and Bryan Joyce ran me to the airport yesterday morning at 4:00 AM. We got to see almost all of the Newberg crowd as well as all of my Oregon nieces and nephews except Amy who is in Mexico right now. Lorena, Kelly, and Christian ran down the valley to Albany yesterday, but were only able to see about 10% of the people on their list. When they saw it was not going to be possible to see everyone, they decided to just go see the ones they knew they were not going to be able to visit at Saginaw later in the week. We will put a picture or two up here as soon as the kids send them to me.
I did a ton of programming on the trip because I had so much time on the airplane and in airports and hope to do a ton more before everyone returns and school starts. There was a great comment on one of my post on how to take the CLEP test that put me in the frame of mind to work on our school plan for next year. I have to do the first couple of weeks worth of scheduling for Kelly and Christian before when they get back on Tuesday of next week, so I really have my work cut out for me. Christian has one more year of Sonlight, so his schedule should be fairly straightforward, but Kelly is going into uncharted territory as she has moved on to more college oriented material. I am very much looking forward to building their plans over the next couple of days.
