January Highlights

I went to the Northwest Food Processors Convention in Portland on January 13 and 14. The show has been held in the Portland Convention Center for many years as it was this year.

We seem to be having a January cold snap. The weather has not been too bad though. I made the trip to Portland to drop Teri off at the airport and again to pick her up. I also went to the NWFP Convention and the roads were pretty good each time. When I went to pick Teri up at the airport there was quite a bit of rain in the Columbia River Gorge, which is not really unusual. The good news is that it was warm enough not to form ice.

What a way to start out the new year as a grandpa again. This time is a little different because this is my first granddaughter.

Band and Choir Concert

We just got home from the band and choir concert. The best of the choir portion was the one number the Madrigal Choir did. Next best was the spiritual done by the combined Madrigal Choir and chorus. But the real highlight of the evening had to be the Jazz Band they really livened things up at the end of the night. We had someone on the stage almost all night--well except for the chorus.

The Beginning of a Blog

I have decided to begin a new blog. The old one seems to have been lost in the shuffle of changing e-mail servers. Isn't that they way it seems to go. You just get used to one thing and have to do something else. Well any way that is the way it is. Hopefully this will work out and there will be a chance to post some things now and then.
