Earl Grey

You may remember our adopted cat, Earl, who kept returning to his original neighborhood after his people moved across town. Our friends living in that neighborhood took him in until they move out of town. That’s when, in 2006, we took him with the hope of breaking his homing instinct. Since then he has become more comfortable with us, Lido (our 90lb. Lab.) and his new life as an indoor cat. He even survived our latest move into town without too much trauma. Sadly, Jolyn noticed a tumor in Earl’s mouth earlier this year.  Without much hope of curing the oral fibrosarcomas, we said goodbye to a good cat. This Christmas we’ll miss his eyes peering out from under the tree.

Melikalikimaka II

We ended 2008 with a wonderful gathering of Jolyn's entire family on the Big Island of Hawaii. Prior to celebrating Christmas in paradise with a wacky gift exchange (nice girly scarf, Brendan), we endured the Pacific NW's record-breaking Snowpacolypse or Snowmaggedon, (as described by the press), along with canceled flights and horrendous driving conditions to Portland. But we all (15 of us) finally made it and delighted in just being together in that beautiful, warm place!

Hannah Turns Ten

Hannah turned ten this year and had a major sleep over with a few friends. They made their own pizzas , played games, had a scavenger hunt, worked on a quilt and enjoyed homemade birthday pazookies ( You must try one )... and all that was before bed. It was enough to wear Lido out! The morning brought the sleepy girls to Grandma's for pancakes . It's a real hit. All in all it was a fun time with friends to celebrate the special gift that Hannah is to us all. Here's to the birthday girl . Later in July, she spent a special weekend with Grandpa Herc and Georgia.
