The forest creatures are taking back Eugene! Last night
John reported that he had seen two raccoons out back. (Okay, okay, so how does one spell raccoon?) Later in the evening, he made a foray to his car, and came back to report that two deer had nearly mowed him down on his way back to the house. Almost had venison for Thanksgiving!
John and Anita have been here since last Tuesday - we went on a trip up the Coast, stopping at Seaside and at Fort Clatsop, where Lewis and Clark's expedition wintered over.
The Visitors Center was really informative. We stopped in Astoria and then drove up to Mt. St. Helens. It was a lovely
day, but we couldn't see the mountain. I remember the devastation along the Toutle River, the river flowing down from the mountain, when Dad, the kids and I drove up about three months after the mountain exploded. Everything was covered with a thick gray coat of pumice.
Seraph, Robbie, Hanni, Isa, Anita, John and I are going to Ashland this weekend. Should be fun!
Love to all - the aging mom.

Happy birthday to Seraph! Everyone except Yay...

Happy birthday to Seraph! Everyone except Yayoe, in California for a visit with high school friends, and Sadie, far away, were over for birthday dinner. My attempt at a mash potato, roast and scratch gravy dinner was okay. I later watched the second half of Dr. Zhivago on PBS. Excellent. Earlier in the weekend I took Isa to feed the ducks at the duck pond. Very fun. I have definitely cute grandkids

It's after 8:00 pm and I'm still at the office. I've been trying hard to get caught up with the personal paperwork which slid to the back burner. I haven't really kept up with getting stuff into Quicken, and doing taxes is about ten times easier if I do.
Sadie and I had a good long talk last night. She is talking about a red-eye on Christmas Eve. She had been doing a satisfaction survey in her internship of the reaction of some older home owners who received grant money to have home repairs done. She sounded as though it had been fun.
Many hugs, om
