I went to Oregon to see my family last month. It was such a great trip. It all started with a sushi lunch with my Mother and my sister, Pam, in Portland. Then on to the Classical Chinese Gardens. They were beautiful.....
During the course of my 8 day stay, we hiked, went to the coast, and did wine tasting at a couple of local wineries near Eugene. Sweet Cheeks Winery is very quaint and charming. King Estate Winery is a very upscale winery with expansive vinyards. The Pino Noir was magnificent.
Zach is still in Tennessee with his Mom until the middle of August. I really miss him a lot. Bram and I have been hanging out together quite a bit. Jason and Andrea took a few days to go to San Francisco, and Bram and I played at the park and he really enjoyed the Slip n' Slide we set up in the yard.
Job prospects are few and far in between. I'm trying not to panic, but the reality is that it may take a while longer to find one....

Posting Regularly
O.k., I've somewhat come up with a page layout I can live with for a while. I do need some help from someone who is more 'blog savvy' than me to help me tweak things. But all in time.
I've been busy working in the yard and spending time with the grandson's. I love that. There are never-ending projects to be completed inside and outside, so I don't think I run the risk of not having anything to do.
The job market is really slow now. Since being layed off at the end of February, I have only run across 2 jobs that seemed like they would be great. I received the customary "thanks for applying, we've hired someone else" from both. There's just not a lot out there.
Zach will be leaving to visit his Mom at her new home in TN the first week of June. He will be gone for almost 9 weeks! I want to get an outting arranged before he leaves at either the zoo, planetarium or maybe a camping trip. I will miss him.
Bram and I have been spending quite a bit of time together since I'm not working. It's really been fun. He just turned 4 on May 2nd, and he's a very bright little guy. We have fun together....
Well, so much for now. I'll keep working on my blogging skills and hopefully the page will improve!
