Ashland Lithia Park pond after a February snowstorm.

Our friend Greg invited us to join the family wine tasting tour in Napa/Sonoma. We had a wonderful time: great wines, food, fun, and friends

Bottling weekend at Cinq Cellars. All hands on deck and great volunteers made the cases fly by.

Seattle was still our home, though we passed through the 50% point this year (more on that later). Here is an image of the skyline from our building deck - the streak across the sky is the ISS.

Bill ran his first-ever half marathon, shown here at the finish with his indispensable support team cheering him on.

Nephew Malcolm's Bar Mitzvah in Milwaukee -- he did a great job!

We were all very, very sad to say goodbye to Wilbur. He was a huge part of our family and is greatly missed... Wilbur was 19.

As we passed the 50% mark in Ashland, we decide to change our residence and say adieu to our Seattle condo. We emptied it out between Christmas and New Years and signed closing papers. It was a wonderful place, but we're ready to move on to the next chapter.
