Our flight was delayed several times, and then when we finally got on the plane and it was de-iced, they could not unhook the tow bar from the plane, so we stayed on the tarmac for another 20 minutes while they got a front end loader out to disconnect the plane from the tractor. The flight to Portland was uneventful, and Pamela's brother Seth picked us up at the airport.
We got home to Molalla and settled into our Fiver and the wind and rain storms that continued to come in from the Pacific. It was nasty weather, but it was moderated by the fact that we didn't have to shovel the rain and that Juneau was getting hammered by snow. The wind has died down and we have had several good days here in Oregon, and have even had a chance to look at some houses on the market in the Oregon City area. It is encouraging that there may be several nice homes in our price range. Pamela is getting ready for a Creative Memories event this Saturday, and then we travel to Southern California on February 2nd to visit family and watch the Super Bowl. When we get back from that, we will talk with realtors and begin to look at houses in earnest.

| Our New Samsung MiFi 4G Card |
One of the techie things that we did this week was that we upgraded our wireless access point (MiFi card) with Verizon. Neil was able to upgrade to a Samsung 4G wireless access point for nothing more than a renewal of the Verizon policy. 4G cellular service is supposed to be ten times faster than 3G, and we hope that is the case.
We also finally got our Christmas 2011 and New Year's 2012 newsletter printed and mailed out hardcopy and via email. We are looking forward to a great 201--how about you?
Neil and Pamela

I purchased this 4G card last April and love it. Picked up 4G a few times in Phoenix and Seattle. It is faster. Still on 3G in Montana, and looking forward to the 4G this fall; or so they say.
