State Conference

This past weekend was the DAR Oregon State Conference in Portland. It was a wonderful conference. Of course, all of us who were "on duty" (pages, conference committee, state officers, etc.) worked really hard to keep everything rolling smoothly. You see, this year we hosted Mrs. Wright, the National Society's President General.

It was an honor to meet the President General and the visiting state regents from Idaho, Iowa, Colorado and New Mexico. I had a lot of fun being a page again this year.

Happy Birthday Sis!

Tonight we celebrated my sister's birthday. Her dinner request was pan fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.  We made strawberry shortcake after she blew out the candles.

I won't say how many years, but it's definitely more than the four candles Mom put on her cake!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Lat week was Teacher Appreciation week. We have a great group of parents who provided lunch one day. And our student council provided snacks on another. I spend most of the week sugared up. To top it off some of my kiddoes brought me gifts. They can be so sweet.

Happy 3!

He turned 3 last week. So we celebrated with cupcakes, squirt guns and a pinata. Unfortunately, he doesn't stand still for photos.

Taste of Ashland

Beautiful day. Food. Wine. Family. Friends.

3-Day Crop

I spent this last weekend at a 3-day scrapbook crop. It's the first time I'd done three days. It was fabulous and exhausting. I got a ton of stuff done, and it's always great to recharge the creative batteries while spending some time with the wonderful ladies at Running With Scissors.

Engagements...

No, not mine. In the past three weeks two of my longest time friends have announced their engagements.

Wedding date to be determined.....

Wedding day will be in July.

Congratulations my friends!
