Jim, HOw was your time in Seattle? Not quite as warm as the east coast, I would guess. Have you been up here before? Guess what? Unless something very unexpected happens in the next 3 weeks, Friday was my last day at UPS! 31 1/2 years later. Not to mention lots of back pain, hand pain... and headaches from the company. But I made it! On Sept 21st the 4 of us get on a plane to go to Hawaii for 3 months of training at the University of the Nations in Kona Hawaii, then we get a few months of hands on training overseas and then we will join up with some of UofN people to do relief/missionary work in SE Asia or the Pacific islands. We ae pretty excited to say the least. Not that I have hardly scratched the surface of what I could do photographicly in Oregon and Washington, but it will be nice to do some international photos! More later, dinner time. Randy

Randy - no worries, will message you as the day approaches and give you my email address. Best - and, just looking through your catalog again, wow, it's pretty amazing. My wife really loves your oregon coast shots. JD

Jim, I will have to see what will happen as that day gets closer. I will be in Seattle for a graduation a week prior on the 13th. So I might not be able to make it up two weeks in a row. It would be great to meet you in person and have a cup of Jo! Rumor has it that there is some good coffee in the seattle area, some small company called Bigbucks, or something like that. Randy

Jim, Great to hear from you! Winter has been cold and long. Lots of rain and more snow than most years. I thought it was over, and put out our tropical plants a few days ago. THey were all frost covered this morning. :<( TO top it all off our furnace went out about 36 hours ago. A repairman was due yesterday aft, but had to cancel until sometime this morning. I am looking forward to it being over!!! How was yours? Randy

Hi Jim, I could use a bit of that Florida weather right about now! We have about 6 inches of snow, winds gusting to 40 mph and then to top it all off, last night we got a freezing rain storm, just to make sure I have to put on chains to get to work tomorrow morning! Yes, those UPS packages are still calling me to be sure they get delivered before Christmas!. Speaking of Christmas, have a blessed Christmas season, keeping Jesus himself as the center of it. After all, it was originally (and should still be) all about Him. Randy
