Portland Trip

I had a lot of fun with the girls in Portland. It was a great opportunity to get to know the girls. They got to play 5 games total which was more than were guaranteed. We lost the first game to a Newport Oregon team, they were very physical and we had officials that thought we were the only team committing fouls. We then went on to win the next three games and got to play for the consolation game. Which we ended up losing by 6. It was a really good game and the coach was pleased with how they battled back. Tori's ankle turned out to be frustrating for her. She would play a game than end up sitting out the next due to it swelling up. She's working on getting better so that she gets to play in San Diego at the end of the month. Here are couple of shot I took of her in the last game.

After the games we drove over to Seaside to spend an evening on the beach. We played in the Ocean for a hour, walked around the town. The team all went on the bumper cars.
After a little shopping and bumper cars we went to dinner. Here is the team at the beach.
The weather was nice, water was a little cold......

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let's not

Four years ago, we bought Dana a snow blower for Christmas.  He never took it out of the box.  Claimed that it would be too noisy for the neighbors at the time of the morning that he like to shovel, which is usually around 6:00am.  I could never figure out if he really did like to shovel the snow or if he just wasn't sure about putting it together.  I really should have had Home Depot do that for us. In the fall, he decide to unpack it and see about putting it together.  He claimed that you need to have an engineering degree to put it together.  Well the heavy snow came and in the mist of both of us shoveling and not getting any where.  Paul, our neighbor, was out working on his driveway, so Dana told him if he helped him carry upstairs and got it going he could use it.  He was all for it.  They carried it up and by the time Dana got back from getting gasoline, Paul had it running. Need I say Dana feel in love with the snow blower.  Did several of the neighbors driveways
