DECEMBER IN REDMOND

Jay and I just returned from a mini-vacation/getaway in Redmond Oregon.  Our friends needed a house/animal sitter for a few days so we loaded up the truck and drove over to Redmond.  It was a great excuse for a mini-vacation.  Roy had to work in Puyallup Washington for the weekend.  Mary wanted to spend a holiday weekend with her family in Yakima Washington.  Whiskey, the horse, Huckleberry Hound, the dog, Dingo, the dog, and Rufus the cat were happy to see us.

We left Thursday mid-morning Mt. Hood before things could freeze up.  It was absolutely beautiful!  Here is a picture from the truck.

 You can almost see Mt Hood in the distance.
 We woke up Saturday morning to six inches of blissful snow.   Here is our truck parked out in front of the house.
 This is the view from the dining room.
This is the view from the family room with the barn/shop in the background.
  The sun came out and we had to get out.  We took Whiskey for a walk around the mile loop in the neighborhood.

Roy and Mary came home on Monday.  We stayed one more night and then headed back to Portland on Tuesday since another storm was due to come in on Wednesday. 

Time to go home and get ready for Christmas with our family.  Thank you Roy and Mary for letting us have a mini-vacation.  Your home is so cozy and we also love Wilma, your neighbor.  Thank you for decorating the house just for us!  Loved the time we spent with the two of you also!
