:: September 2018 ::
As I always say; our next life we
will be French living in France.

And this week I got to do my
work with one of my most
beloved colleagues. I think this
will be our last engagement
together. Forever. So it was sad
and savored


17-20 September 2018  
Grenoble, France
We are huge fans, and supportors, of Goats of Anarchy - non profit Goat rescue - you can follow them on
Instagram. Joe surprised us by making donations and getting us all hoodies. We LOVE Joe!
My last trip to the
States. I know. I
know never say
never. Not in the
foreseeable future.

Avalon and I wanted
to escape Portland
and visit Seattle,
which would allow
me to catch up with
a few old friends and
visit some of my
favorite old haunts

As always, I loved
spending time with
Avalon. It's always
precious and I am
getting better about
not crying when I
leave. Or he leaves.  
Portland Uber
drivers are very
thankful.  

Portland, Seattle,
Tahoe
7-15 September

PS  loved these
sunglasses - lost
(stolen?) on that
trip (sad face)







October: I head to
Singapore and arrive
home on the 5th,
our 30th - we will
celebrate it in
Florence



November: Zaven's
21st  birthday, the
Truffle Festival -Nice,
France

December:
Singapore - Avalon
will be spending the
holidays in Portland
- we will be missing
him
but totally get
having a year off
from hectic family
holiday's can be
beneficial

January : Israel with
Lori of course


I loved catching up,
long over due, with
Dean and meeting
his partner Greg. He
would always make
me laugh and giggle
and it was like 30
years hadn't passed.
We wanted to
recreate the fun &
darling photos of
our youth. The
re-creation didn't
pan out and we
looked like we were
wrestling













































And our friend Jim,
from Clark College
and PHS days, and
his partner, met us
for wine, 5 green
beans and gossip   
Lovely Tahoe. Still
lovely. The yellow
jackets were bad. Lore
says that indicates that
it will be a hard winter.









































No trip to Cali would be
complete without some
wonderful Hammond
hospitality and Scout
lovin'
