Hello Folks -- here are a few shots of our mini-trip to Astoria, Oregon. Did you know that Astoria was named after John Jacob Astor? Seems he was a big fur trader in the early days. Who knew? The tall column is a carved memorial high-lighting the journeys of Lewis and Clark. The garden scenes are from a Chinese Garden located smack dab in the middle of the City of Portalnd. We will be leaving beautiful Portland to journey to Southern California for some business and pleasure. More details as the trip developes.

This is for my friends who have been asking if I am enjoying retirement. You be the judge.
