Snow? and PDXWLF

hey again!

Spent the first weekend of the month visiting with people.

First, went to Applebee’s with Louis. He wanted to sit and talk and hash everything out, so I let him know where I stand with everything that has gone on between our families and where things stand now. He let me know of various things that he has been dealing with as well. I left things with no expectations (which I was very clear about) but still overall feeling a lot better for getting everything out in the open. Things were left unsaid and not dealt with for close to 10 years, so now if anything comes of it, it will be healthier. If nothing comes of it, it’s still healthier than it was before.

We finally were able to convince JJ to come over to the house again. It was nice to catch up with him and give him a little break from his normal schedule. The kids enjoy having him around, so that’s another plus.

What is this? Snow?! Yep, we got a light dusting of snow on my mom’s birthday. She wasn’t in town to see it. It’s always fun to see snowfall – they originally said we could get inches, but it ended up being too warm for that to fall and then stick. It has been cool in the atmosphere and then warm at the ground level. So we had mornings and evenings with snow showers – but not cold enough to do anything. Then during the day it would switch to rain.

Next week is a better chance at some snow before another warmup.

That is also good news, because its time for the Portland Winter Light Festival!

As you can see, we stopped at the main sights the first night.

We plan to go back again tomorrow, but we will see how everything goes. The kids got tired a lot quicker than I feel they should have. Maybe because they have been going to bed earlier as of late? I don’t really know. For now – lets get some rest.

just Pray.
