Portland, with my Sisters

   I had a sweet blessing of going to Portland Oregon with 2 of my sisters. Truth be told, one is a Sister in Law, but I have never thought of Janine that way, she has always just been my sister.
 We stayed with my other sister, Lynette's, daughter, Kellie. It was a great 4 days.
  We had the opportunity of hiking to water falls, going to the ocean ( I cried when I saw it, I miss it so much), and just hangin' out with family.
    We got to spend time with Lynette's kids, Kelli and Greg & Amber, and their kids. We played a lot of games, visited

Lynette, Janine & Me ( yes, Steve that is your Utah hoodie
Thanks)

a lot.
     I discovered something, that I did not expect,  I got homesick for Alan.  I really missed my sweetheart. I think no more trips without him.
    I discovered I don't have my energy back, yet, and I say yet because, I plan on working hard to get it back.
     It was good to reconnect with Lynette, Janine, Kellie, & Greg & Amber and their family.
   I am so blessed.
    I loved Portland, so I think I will enjoy going up to visit Carrie & Briody, once they get settled.  They are moving there, Briody got a new job,  We will miss them dearly, but I know this will be so good for them, and bonus, we have a great place to visit.
