Is it just me, or does he just get better looking the older he gets?

Portland Snowpacolypse 2008

For those of you who don't know, Portland sometimes gets dusting of snow each year. Sometimes. Maybe. Once in a great while. Not. Very. Often ...

Well this past week it snowed! I mean really, really snowed. You Montanans can truly understand how much it made my day! Not only did it remind me of home at a time when I grow more and more homesick, but it also reminded me of growing up in Seattle. In the Northwest, an inch of snow shuts down the city and the world just seems to stop in awe of this fluffy white stuff. So in celebration of my childhood, I embraced the Northwest's inability to navigate wintry conditions and have enjoyed playing outside with my dogs, then coming inside to a delicious hot cup of cocoa and a big, comfy blanket.

Three cheers for snow days and Merry Christmas to all!





Just for fun ... snow nose!

Thanksgiving in Montana

For the few that read this, I apologize for my prolonged absence. I'm snowed in today (yay!), so I'm playing blogger catch-up. Here are a few from our trip to Montana over Thanksgiving.
