We're here!

A view of Mt. Hood from the west hills. 

Mt. Tabor is the hill below.

We arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon, van-weary and exhausted, but thrilled to be here.  We slept in our empty old house on some air mattresses, watching the lights of the city twinkle in our window.  We woke this morning to a beautiful sunrise, had our coffee and a walk up Mount Tabor.  Our old neighborhood has undergone some change, but in many ways, it feels just like it did when we left almost 15 years ago.


Our furniture arrives tomorrow and the process of making this "our home" again will begin in earnest.  Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement as we traversed this beautiful country over the past 10 days and 4,045 miles.  It's been great but we're glad it's over.


To the family and friends we've left behind: we miss and love you so much.  Please know that you have a lovely room, great food and beverages, and all the hospitality we can offer whenever you want to come and visit.


Love, 


Peg and Michael
