Rhododendron /Zig Zag, Oregon

Ruth and I spent a week in a cabin near Mount Hood, Orgeon with lifelong friends (Geeks Anonymous).  The nearest towns were Rhododendron and Zig Zag. The huge trees and the dense flora are a miracle to behold.

Old friends. The camaraderie of time, lives shared.  A blessing.

Portland visit

Ruth and I visited Portland, Oregon recently, and were hosted by our friends, Gary Scharff and Barbara Underwood Scharff. Barb and Lloyd have known each other since high school.  A happy occasion, with walks, thoughtful wide-ranging conversations, caring, and pleasant meals.
