My husband made this exclamation yesterday as we were unpacking the last of our boxes.  These last boxes were packed a year ago as we left our house in Oregon, and were full of all sorts of interesting finds. Dan pulled out his old camera.  I'm pretty sure this camera came along with him when we moved in together in 2000.  He picked it up, turned it on, and snapped a photo.  The batteries … [Read more...]

Cheryle & David | Historic Estate Wedding

I was very glad we left Ashland to … [Read more...]

beaverton oregon to medford oregon road trip

Just over a month ago we left our home in Oregon. We started out two days behind schedule for our travel plans. Speaking of plans, we never got time to really plan our trip so did not have any hotels booked, except for our extended stay in Herndon, Virginia.
