2015

Boy time is already getting away from me.  Last year we made plans with Pat to actually camp with him at Sargent's Island. Skip ahead to this year and all kinds of things have changed.  So I realized that I have no camping equipment.  I could always borrow from Dave what I needed.  Well that isn't going to work anymore.  While I'm sure Dave would not mind.....it ain't happening.  So I need to get my own.  Pat got me a sleeping bag for my birthday and so it begins.  I found some cookware off facebook.  Audrie has a sleeping bag but Connor does not.  Oy, it is almost overwhelming.  But we will get it done.
We have plans for some bike rides this year.  Still waiting to see if the littles get their bikes from Papa's house and me too.  If so I still need to procure a bike rack so we can go do some really nice trails.  If not I will need bikes also.  Riding around the neighborhood is fine, but I want to get out further.
There are several things we have had on the books for awhile and just haven't gotten to.  The Hoyt Arboretum awaits us as does the art museum.  Adding in on those kind of things is the Chinese Garden downtown Portland.
Hiking, hiking,hiking.  I think my stepping is going to pay off in a big way here.  I already can tell that all this walking is doing good.  And there are many places yet to go hiking/walking.
We have one camping/yurting trip planned for this summer.  We really enjoyed the one we did last year.  Pat wants to go this year.  Boy we have a lot of things planned with Pat.
And Vegas.  This will be the year I get there whether Denise goes or not. I still remember last time and thinking I had done that and don't need to go again.  Well I do need to go again.  I need to go and see and do.  I need to not worry about how much my spouse is drinking while I am there.  Same thing with New Orleans, but that will be another year.  ;P
Is this the year we move?  Maybe.  Time will tell on that, but if we do we will get a kitten who last I heard would be named Tree Leaf.
Is this the year I start my book?  I think it is already started and mostly written in my head.
Busy year, but a good year in the planning. Making memories.
