Current Events
The latest storm brought strong winds and three (plus or minus) inches of rain to Ashland. Luckily, all remained quiet at our condo complex; no fallen trees or dropped limbs to disrupt our morning coffee. Unfortunately, others around town weren't quite so lucky.

Ice skates, snowboards and skis are signs of winter in Ashland, Oregon. Daily and evening ice-skating runs through March across from Lithia Park while Mount Ashland has opened all four of its lifts. Due to lack of snow last year, the ski resort did not open for the first time in 60 years. …

Ashland is officially home, sweet home!
Four months after moving to Ashland, Oregon, our home here is complete, thanks to excellent work by kitchen and flooring experts. It was challenging to live in the mess and without a kitchen, but we got lots of exercise going down and up the stairs whenever we needed food from the fridge. There are two…

Shall we go for a walk?
Reg and I have asked this question of each other many times since we first met. Over the years we've walked miles and miles together. The arrival of our three boys didn't slow us down. We once bribed them, one chocolate M & M at a time, encouraging their little preschool legs to complete the…
