My first garden

So I am testing my green thumb ability. I decided I should start in gardening elementary school with succulents. Take a peak at my steps!

Fathers Day

I recently came across this photo I took of my sweetie a few months ago. It's my favorite so far. I love you, Eric. Happy Fathers Day.

Learning to acclimate

Since I am living in the land of recreation, it's about time to learn some new tricks, right? Jace was nice enough to give me some lessons on his dirtbike. He's a pretty good teacher! I was actually able to start this thing and ride it around the dirt!

Rattlesnake!!!!!

Eric and I took our daily hike today on a popular hiking and mtn biking trail. We decided to turn back because we came to a dead stop when a rattlesnake crossed the trail a foot away from us. Yes, this was my first real live rattlesnake sighting. Holy crap...where am I?!!

April in Oregon

My father came to visit a couple weeks ago. His first time in Oregon, so I took him on a tour of the Columbia Gorge, the Cascade Mtns, the high desert, the coast and the rain forest. Enjoy the show! Gone West. Love, Isolde.

Haven't written in awhile

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. It's certainly not due to the lack of activity. If anything, it's been nearly impossible to get some freetime lately. This month has been very hectic. March started with problem with the old subaru. She finally decided to act her age. She is 145,000 miles old this month. While she waiting patiently for repairs at the curb of my house, I was in Alberta Canada. If you haven's seen the Candian Rockies, I highly reccomend it. And if you haven't seen Ft. McMurray, Alberta....be thankful.

No sooner had I returned from Canada, did I have to pack a fresh set of clothes and hop a flight to Maine. My quick 36 hr work trip turned out to be an 8 day family affair avec Rachel, my support group. I did get to hang with my sister quite a bit. I also spent time with my other sister, Tabatha, as we got a few minutes to see some old friends with their brewing babies on-board (all the ladies in the pic sporting brown).

I finally made it back to Oregon in time to help Eric finish the remodeling on the kitchen, plan and celebrate his birthday weekend in Bend, pay a few bills, do some laundry, fix the car, hit the slopes, plant a tree and create world peace.

Gone West. Love, Isolde.
