O the loose ends ... Ahhh the deadline!

well, we're about two weeks out from our departure time and it's getting exciting round here. there are loose ends everywhere waiting to be tied up (moving out of our international headquarters in the upstairs office of the old Grove building, organizing our homes & stuff, wrapping up corporate & accounting stuff, wrapping up boardmember duties at KPOV, arranging good lovin for our critters, AND throwing a ragin' halloween party ... all while trying to catch up with friends before shoving off for 3 1/2 months)! time is definately ticking ...

we also had to go spread the love to our dear friends Cambria and Tim (Catimbria ... how would you say it?). They are going nuts in McMinnville, a vineyard heavy / culturally deprived town an hour outside Portland. O, the things we do for love (love of wine, love of partners, etc.). we joined Cori and Regan on the trip, so of course we hit up P-town! shopped and ate ALL DAY LONG, you know how we doit ( :

this last wednesday, october 17th, we celebrated Gail's birthday ... lots of good friends, good food, and a lovely setting at Mike George's house. pretty sure she felt as loved as she is!

and speaking of parents, Pat and Tom (chris' folks) were in town for a couple days as well. it's good that we're getting quality time with the 'rents ... moms aren't terribly fond of seeing their [not very] little ones leave the country for months on end.

with all that said, i'm going to get back to work! stay tuned for some fotos ...
