Calm After The Storm

Well, my husband is home safely after being lost on Mt. Defiance. Thanks to the sherif's department, Tracy the 911 dispatcher, and the wonderful pilots who circled the Gorge until they spotted Dave and his canine hiking companions, eventually leading them to safety.

Thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts his way. And thanks to Leslie for holding a Mike's Lime Aid vigil with me :)

Prior getting to Dave getting lost on the mountain we went to Del Ray beach with our family from Portland.

After disappearing for a while (hmmm...do I sense a pattern??) Dave returned with a giant piece of kelp. What do you do with giant kelp you may ask...you jump rope with it, of course! :)







After chasing a ball on the beach for HOURS, and then getting lost on the mountain the next day, Holly is one tired little doggie!
