This past weekend we took a trip to Seattle for my ten year high school reunion. Erin met Rogan for the first time, and on Saturday we had a family lunch. I have so many pictures I want to post from the weekend, but I am working on this during a lunch break at work, …
I mentioned briefly in my last post that Erin has started volunteering with WWOOF – World Wide Opportunities in Organic Farming. Erin’s secret wish is to have a farm with lots of goats, some alpacas, and wine grapes. We don’t want to make the wine – just sell the grapes 🙂 The farm she is …
