Christmas Eve

I wish I could say that was what I saw waking up Christmas morning, but it was actually a few weeks ago. I woke at 6 a.m. and peeked out the bedroom window and that was my delightful view. Snow is nothing uncommon for many of you, but we rarely get snow here on the coast. It was the first time my eight year old had ever played in snow! The other shots are a few snips from Christmas eve. Photo 2: My beautiful sister-in-law with a glimpse of Brad and Paul behind her. Photo 3: Our cousin Amy, aka Dr. Cowan with Paul. Photo 4: Noah with a cousin. Photo 4: My sweet neice.

In Memory of Mary Armstrong

My dear sweet grandmother passed away December 15, 2006. She lived for 96 1/2 years. She was as near to perfect as a human can be. She never raised her voice, was kind, generous, forgiving, and loving.

Astoria Review

This was an article that came out in the Astoria Review in late August. OK, I know it takes me a while to get around to doing things, but I wanted to post it before, say, a year went by! If you can't read the print, that is fine, because I did the interview in June, then Mike lost the notes and wrote this up in August. Soooo, it wasn't quite what I hoped it would be, but it is exposure.
