Take time to smell the ROSES!


Here's the family at the Buchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. 

Back in August we took the kids on a vacation to Portland and Canada.  We visited OHSU and saw the apartment where we lived for 6 years. Of course, we had to stop at Lee Farms and buy some marionberry jam and visit the Rose Gardens and the Portland Zoo.  We loved living here!  You know, we almost canceled this trip because the kids had so much going on with football practices and back to school nights.  But as soon as we got there, Tom and I were so grateful that we followed through with our plans and took time to SLOW down and just enjoy being together with NO distractions.  It was a trip we will never forget!

Of course, we HAD to stop in Forks, Washington and get a glimpse of "Twilight" life!

This was my all-time favorite rose!
