I’m just returning from a wonderful late holiday break with family out in Oregon. Most of the time we were off-line so I could not blog.. now I’m gonna try and catch up 🙂
On Saturday the 28th Diane and I spent the morning shopping for our stay in ZigZag.. around 3 we left Gabes with a car full of supplies and headed for ZigZag on the slopes of Mt Hood.
The airbnb cabin we rented was up on a long driveway off a country road.. we tied a ribbon on so Max and Gabe could find it when they came later in the day
the cabin we rented was so awesome.. it was a simple a frame with a big fireplace in the middle. it was on 5 isolated acres of labnd on Lolo pass road. We were under the snow line.. so had intermittent spitting rain .. but snow was always only a 15 min walk/drive away.
Max picked Gabe up from the airport about 5 pm. Gabe had been on the Colorado river rafting for the last 2.5 weeks and needed to go home and dump out his gear and pick up his clothes for zigzag.. They managed to get to the cabin by about 9 pm chi was really great.
It was the 2nd to the last night of Chanukah so we gave them a gift.. iI gave them each a bag of plumbing parts for them to make their own menorah’s.. its all 1/4 and 1/2″ black iron pipe and fittings, which brass adapters as candle holders.. works nice. They put one of them together and we lit the menorah as Diane made Latkes !
It was really nice being together again !
Nite all, nite sam
