Lady in Waiting and Lady waiting

John looking HazMat-ty!

The Lady in Waiting and Lady waiting, both patiently.



Passing the days awaiting the birth of our granddaughter here in Portland, OR with twice daily walks of Sarah and Jaie's golden retriever, Lady. The outings in the wet cold here are greatly anticipated by all, Sarah hoping by such exercise to decrease the time she spends awaiting the birth of her daughter, Lady just for the sheer joy of an outing with her loved ones.

John has spent time in various projects, insulating under the house here, building a child-proof barrier for the heater, helping his college roommate Louis with his rental home here in Portland. Yesterday we spent some hours with our niece's family, who have embarked on a huge undertaking of home building- with 6 kids under 7. John helped pour the floor in the garage yesterday. Thus we pass the time of waiting! "Whatever your hand findeth to do, do it with all your might".

  2. Sarah looks even more lovely than in the time we knew her as "Sally" in the good ole Claremore days. Best wishes to you and your little one!
