A new year - a new beginning! It was different to not be home on New Year's Day and I thought of what I usually do on that day - either start taking down the Christmas decorations OR start cleaning out the filing cabinet! I decided I'll take being at a friends house ANY time over those jobs!!
My friend Carrie who lives near Seattle drove down late morning - gosh it was good to see her!!
We talked and talked and talked as you can imagine over a great lunch and it was sure fun to catch up with her again!!Cheryl took me up to a higher point since it was actually somewhat clear out today and I wanted a picture of Mt. Hood - it's not a great picture at all but at least I took one!! Mt. Hood stands at 11,245 which probably doesn't sound real tall to us here in Colorado BUT you have to consider you're at sea level there, not already at an extreme elevation!
Here's Cheryl at her computer - she graciously lent us her room for the duration of our stay!!
And a great picture of Cindy and Rene off their back deck!!
Monday we headed to Portland late morning so Rene could show us some of the city! We had a great Mexican meal together before they dropped us off at the airport - and of course once again had to go through the special security for Glenn - even though we had a copy of his drivers' license now but it didn't help at all!! This time the wait was a lot longer but eventually he was sent through and we were Denver bound for home!!

Sounds perfect! We also weren't home for the first time in years on New Years Day ( or at least until 8:00 that night!). Christmas decorations stayed up a week later - but now are down.
Glad you had a great trip!! Too bad they live so far away !:(
