| 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' Rocklin, California 13 September 2018 |
