Happy 2010 everyone!
Well let's see, a year ago today we were in a hospital room praying that the pneumonia would subside. This year, his speech is better, his eating is improving (though he is down to a slim 148), and his mobility is improving. I'd much rather have this year than last!
This post comes following a very realistic dream I had last night. I dreamt that my Dad's brain suddenly "came to", and he was walking and talking again. This doesn't surprise me, as I was talking with my friend, Mike, about this scenario. I remember crying in the dream, and hugging him incessantly. Needless to say, I didn't want to wake. But, I did. I came into his room where he was still sleeping and gave him a big good morning hug.
We had a great low key Christmas, and it was just perfect. For New Years Eve, Brad and I drove Mom & Dad up to the Skagit River. There is a place up there that they went to prior to the surgery where there are more Bald Eagles than you can count....all in one spot over the river. We weren't as lucky as they were on that trip, but we managed to see a few. The weather wasn't as ideal, so I guess our nation's bird is a little particular to when he/she will be seen. :)
Mom and I have been pumping out quite a bit of jewelry as promised, and I am in the process of photographing each of these pieces for purchase. Hopefully by my next post, I will have some samples.
Before I leave you, on a recent trip to Portland (just for a couple hours), I found a friend's new restaurant. If you are in the Portland area, you have to stop by!! Very tasty sandwiches! Lisa, part owner, was a huge help in promoting this site to the masses when we first started out. Her help didn't go unnoticed, so when I heard she and her husband Brian had opened the first restaurant...we made it a point to swing by on a recent photog trip to P-town! Pops got the T-shirt!
Here is the link to their website and menu!

Take care everyone!
