Really fun day at Gabes… Spent the morning working around the yard getting things ready for the party tonight. Meanwhile Shaun, Ted, Carrie and Mel worked on the meal.

People started showing up Just before four.

Nowak had her friend Tito (Tucker’s dog) there for company

We all ate our field… They took a quick walk around the block and started in on dessert

It was Taylor’s birthday so GabÉ made her a birthday cookie

The party is still going on when ‘Diane and I decided it’s time for us to head out…

Such a fun day

Hope you are folks you left as well.

We have much to be thankful for

We had a relaxing day here in Portland. Our big outing was another trip to the thousand acre dog park. Diane, Nova and I went for a 5 mile run along the river… It was so nice.

Once we got back to Gabes we all started prepping for tomorrow’s Friendsgiving… I think there’s going to be like 24 people there.… Tonight we made pizza with Mel’s gas fired Pizza oven… Pretty cool

wishing everybody a relaxing Thanksgiving… Hope you’re with the people you love

Todays the day we mark Sam’s organ donation. 15 years ago today Sam’s  strong organs helped save the lives of 4 other people. In that incredibly difficult moment we know what Sam would have wanted. We knew because we’d discussed it. What we’ve learned is that the most important factor in organ donation is that the family knows what the would be donor would have wanted.

While we deeply hope that the situation never comes up in your family please honor Sams memory by discussing organ donation with your family. It can mean the world to someone.

Thank you !
