June 22 - October 23, 2009

HOME is where you park it.

Lex and Sedona made this our Summer-in-Steamboat theme song.  Maybe it should be our HUGcard theme song!  

After Steamboat, we headed for Boulder and pretended we were living there. Rachel’s driveway was a nice place to be, with just a bike ride to town.

Northwest 2009

May - June 2009

While we were in Oregon, we kept singing “Rain, rain—go away.”  But it didn’t. We had rain or fog—and it was cold—during our entire drive up the coast.  I telephoned my friend (who lives in Bend, Oregon, which is in the middle of the state) that we left the warm weather and came north too soon.  She said,  “You just came north the wrong way.”  Next time, we’ll definitely point Ratherby in her direction!  Even if we don’t have warmer, drier weather, we can rekindle a warm friendship.

California 2009

March 1 - May 5, 2009

A beautiful place under the sky — loved everything about it.  From the ocean to the high desert.  From Southern California all the way to the Oregon border.
