I'm glad I was able to spend some time with Albert, Elizabeth & then Olivia. Portland is certainly a beautiful place, strange but beautiful. I'm not sure how I feel about the naked people riding around on bicycles though. I was able to see the big waterfall before I left, very beautiful. It would be nice to have some of that water here. Kathy says she had lunch with Sam this afternoon, says he is still looking for a job, hope he gets one soon. Albert's mom is arriving this evening to lend a hand with Olivia, I can just imagine how spoiled Olivia will be by the time Kathy & Albert's mom get done.
I've been home for a week now, still getting caught up with all the stuff that piles up. Father's Day was very enjoyable. Josh was able to come from Tempe, Hayden was here with JJ. We had barbecued ribs & smashed spuds, yum yum. Family time is so very important, especially now a days. We have been through our share of ups & downs but it is all worth it.

Waiting for Miss. Olivia in Portland.
Well here we are in Portland awaiting the arrival of Miss Olivia. We have been all over town seeing the sights, walking, walking, walking. Yesterday Elizabeth was having contractions fifteen minutes apart for a good part of the day, nothing so far today though. Kathy & Elizabeth are geocaching,there are a couple of geocachs around the neighborhood, they found one the other day, now they are out looking for the other.
Kathy & I were able to meet with Sam & his girlfriend on Monday. We think he is looking way too thin, thankfully we were able to get him some things he needed. We hope he is able to get a hold of his life, get a job & have a good life. It is hard to see someone you love in the situation Sam is in. We rode the train from the mall were we met up with him, taking a nice walk back to Albert & Elizabeth's.
I must say it is hard getting used to the schedule around here, everyone stays up until all hours. Albert doesn't get home until late so I guess that has a lot to do with it. It really doesn't matter as long as the family is together. I must say I don't miss living around a lot of people, the noise, traffic, etc. The garbage truck came around @ 3:45am & then again at 7am, whats up with that???. Today the landscape guys were out in force.
It was reported that it was going to be high temps around here today, estimated to be in the 80's, omg!!!!!!! It really is nice right now, when we went to the Rose Festival on Saturday, it was maybe in the 80's and everyone was complaining about how hot it was. I wonder how they would do in Phoenix.
