Again, no pictures this time - but here's a rundown of the highlights of our week!
Peter and I enjoyed the long weekend along with the beautiful weather we've been having! We spent Monday in Portland shopping at
Washington Square, and I didn't buy a thing! :-P Afterward we enjoyed a lovely lunch and the evening with some friends, Brandon & Nicole Rozema...
Wednesday our workers, Rose and Nola came back from being in Burns - to be on our side of the field for a few weeks... and we're enjoying all of their company that we can get! We had our very first Wednesday night meeting at our home last Wednesday, so it was special to have the girls here for that.
Yesterday Peter had to run in to Gresham, so after finishing up his chores there, we went shopping, this time to
Clackamas Town Center! And once again, I came home empty handed! :) (why is it when I'm looking for red shoes, I can't ever find
cute ones?!)
Our weather has been SO beautiful this last week. Before long I think we'll be able to start the motorcycles up and take them out for a spin! They've gotten quite dusty sitting in the garage all winter.
Next weekend we're going on the
Sternwheeler Cruise - so I should have some pictures to post then.
That's all folks - Hope you've had a nice weekend and are enjoying weather like we are! If not, come visit and we'll share!
To here...
Peter has accepted a job with the Department of Energy in Washington DC, so we're packing up & going! We'll sure miss the dear friends we have made here, but are excited for this new adventure! 
First layer of meat & "noodles"
Mmm, cheese.
The fixins

Last layer of meat
The cook & her creation
30 mins to wait... (and lots of cleaning up to do!)
Finished product!
Lasagna & Watermelon - Yum!
Yep, it was good! (and there's lots left over!)
I'd definitely recommend this dish! Happy tax day y'all!
Bignets with powdered sugar.
Bignets with homemade maple frosting. WOW. These were absolutely amazing!
This is how I felt after eating 3 donuts...
We've been enjoying GORGEOUS weather... but unfortunately they're forecasting rain tomorrow. Oh well - I suppose it'll freshen the air up!
Doz playing fetch...
Now, add some boiling H2O, and let it steep.
Flowering some more...
Fully bloomed! So pretty, and quite tasty too! 
They have all kinds of flavors - you can look them up on Numi's website. That link also has a neat video of the tea blooming. I didn't even think to video it. Duh. I bought my teapot and teas at Fred Meyers.
Hope this finds everyone doing well. I will try to be more diligent at updating!
There were peacocks EVERYWHERE...
Some neat sculptures too...
Mom & Pops
Maryhill Museum --> More info here.
My love & I in the middle of Stonehenge. 
Beautiful Columbia Gorge - Cherry trees all in bloom. It's gorgeous!
Lotsa blue
I don't think this is what it was intended for - but we couldn't pass up the opportunity. :)
More photos to come!
Close up of the only thing that kept the boat moving - no engines!
Good friend Michelle (from work) and her husband.
Horrible picture of Peter and I.
The rest of the photos are here...
