Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas from Neil and Pamela

A belated Merry Christmas to all of you who have visited this Blog.  We have had a good several weeks here in West Linn, and have the house all decorated for Christmas.  We also took a few days and drove up to Silverdale to visit Neil's Dad and his wife Neta.  We had a good visit and were able to help them with a few things before we returned home.  We woke up to several inches of wet snow in Silverdale, but were able to make the trip up to Silverdale and back on I-5 without any bad weather at all.

For the first time in many years, we actually had family over for a Christmas Eve dinner.  Seth and Cathy Finney joined us for a good dinner and gift exchange and then we joined them on Christmas Day for dinner with their family.

Today, after a short appointment, we went to the Canton Grill for dinner and then we made a trip in to the Grotto Christmas Lights and then drove down Peacock Lane in Portland to see the houses there with all their Christmas lights.  It was a great evening and a good wind down to the Christmas season.

We are busy working on the Holiday Newsletter (too late to be a Christmas letter) and plan to send it out electronically soon and mailed to those who don't get e-mail.

We hope that this finds you all well and in good spirits.  Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
