(View of Mt Hood taken from Sandy, while we were driving around Oregon this week)I have been very negligent in updating my blog recently - no particular reason just a combination of things to do, along with superb weather, which have lead us to do many more things during the day and then being glued to the TV watching the Olympics, into the small hours of the morning, for the last week.
Last weekend, we had a dog show and just had Thomas and his son Erik entered. The entry of beagles was tiny (5) - Thomas won the breed both days and got a group placement on Sunday. Erik won a single point, but it was good training for him, if nothing else. The weekend was really enjoyable as we had a chance to have dinner with friends (Tracy & John) who we have not seen since they moved to Idaho and another friend (Kathy) - it was a great restaurant in Albany and superb company.
I took the opportunity to play with my new Flip video camera (just a tiny thing about the size of a cell phone) and it does a respectable job. I wanted to practice before i went to Crufts next month, so I new how it worked.
Sunday was Valentines day - we were done early at the show and so went home and had a nice bottle of wine and a home cooked meal.
This week, in between a lot of driving around greater Portland, collecting and delivering things we have managed to squeeze in some outdoor exercise (bike riding for me and walking for David) - somehow I enjoy this much more than hitting the stationary bike at the gym! And then of course lawn mowing.....
And now its the weekend again - no dog shows this weekend, but the good weather continues - its was 62 degrees today - I LOVE it.
