May the Merriment Begin!
Monday, December 28th, 2009Our Branch and Friends Christmas Party is always fun! This year we went to a fairly new restaurant called Word of Mouth Bistro on 17th and State Street. It’s in an old craftsman style house and the ambiance (especially at night) is so cool. Great food, great company and a great time! Thanks everyone!
The Oregon Package Arrived!
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009I got a nice note from Tami Longaberger via FB this morning. She received the Oregon Care Package (see post from Dec 17) and this is her message back to me. I wonder what the mailman thought?!

Target and a Medium Market Makes My Life Easier
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009I love Target! It helps that it is close by and I can get there in about 3 minutes. I often carry my Medium Market into Target for a quick trip and fill it up with all kinds of good stuff. The basket is sturdy enough to hold 30 pounds! Can you imagine? I’m not sure [...]
December Birthdays
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Our youngest son, Josh has a December birthday. My goal every holiday season is to get the house all festive and ready for Christmas before his birthday on December 16th. I’ve done pretty well in the last 22 years, but this year I have been procrastinating big time! We are still putting finishing touches on [...]
Finding the Perfect Tree
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009We are fortunate to live in the land of Christmas Trees! Oregon is the #1 producer of Christmas Trees and they are a renewable resource produced just like any other agricultural crop.
So fun to head out to a tree farm and cut your own. Our tree hunting has become a family tradition and this year [...]
Tami, your package is on it’s way!
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Oregonians are ecstatic that the University of Oregon is Rose Bowl Bound! While our family typically is not college football fans, my friend Cindy is a BIG fan and asked me to go to the Duck Store with her in Eugene. WOW! So many things and so many choices. Did you know the Oregon Duck is [...]
BBQ Party Mix
Monday, December 14th, 2009This one is a keeper recipe and I’ll be making it for our Christmas Eve Family Gathering. It’s not too spicy, but just enough to notice that it’s different than the tradition mix (and oh so good!). Could be spiced up even more if you like it that way.
Thanks Sue and Ray for sharing!
