I caught up with Mike and Kelly (and the girls) at Mikayla's winter concert Thursday evening. They did a great job and it was so fun to see all of the seventh graders perform. Lots of Christmas activities in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to keep everyone posted :)

Yesterday we picked up Mom Peters, Lloyd, Nancy and Orv and came back to the house to watch Denver Bronco's play the Minnesota Vikings. How's about that defense!! Carol fixed Spaghetti and meatballs - way too good! We drove out to Willamette National Cemetery to pay our respects to Dad Peters. We returned to the house and Mike & Kelly brought the girls over for desert and entertainment :)   More to come soon.

Thursday, December 1st,we picked up Orv, Nancy and Lloyd Dyer at PDX and drove them to Mom Peters' place in Beaverton. Yesterday we drove them to visit the Matney's in Salem, OR. We had a great visit and a bowl of chili :) Last night we drove around the Portland International Raceway and saw the Christmas lights display - great job! Today we're going to get a sneak peek at Carol's dress rehearsal for next week's church children's choir presentation of "The Great Christmas Giveaway". Tonight we're going to White Christmas in Lake Oswego. More pics and info to come soon.

A couple more pics of the Phoenix race and Dinner at Red Robin - the whole gang! It was hard to go back to work after such a great weekend. Hope everyone is doing well, more to come soon.

On Monday, 31 October 2011 I flew out of Portland and attended a two day school in Chicago. It was fast and furious! Then I came home and got ready for Phoenix International Raceway! I left Portland on Saturday a.m. , met my brother Russ and his son John at the airport in Phoenix and we drove to the PIR track. We met my Dad, brother Don, and his sons Paul and Eric in the stands. And we also sat with Frank (Lynette's squeeze), Joshua, and Caleb (my two grandsons!). The weather co-operated and the racing was great! After the race on Sat. and Sun. we had dinner at Lynette and Franks place in Peoria. Thanks for the great food and entertainment (football)! This was the BEST trip I've had so far...everything went pretty well.

Hope everyone had a good time and returned home safely. I'll add more soon! 

This was a long week...anyway...it's the weekend! Carol & I worked around the house in the A.M. Then we picked up Mom Peters and headed for the beach :)  We had dinner at Mo's in Canon Beach (first picture). And Carol took the pooch for a walk on the beach. Payton slept on Mom's lap all the way home. It was almost 60 degrees and slight wind - perfect for this time of year.

These two pictures are from Depot Bay, OR. Look at the view the homes and hotels  (first picture) have - overlooking the Pacific! Have a great week...looking forward to the weekend.
