My First Try

Arla, I accepted your invite to join your Blog. I hope this works. I tried once but the posting disappeared!

I have spent evenings after work shopping for stocking stuffers and presents for the family. We will spend xmas eve with Pat's family in Portland, then on to spend the night in Vernonia where the whole family will wake up xmas morning to open stockings and presents. This includes Rebecca and Regina and Jake but not Ronna and Michelle. On the 26th we will travel to the cabin for snow activities!

Pat and the twins have gone skiing, Jessica is spending her break with her girlfriend, Jesse. Willie spends his time between Basketball practice, the phone, ashley, the phone, ashley, the phone.... you get the picture.

Looking forward to hearing about the Amazon. Pat and I plan on a trip there in October. We really need some good travel tips from Judy - I hope she comes through!
Merry Christmas to All! Jill.
