Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

As you can tell I think I like the "befores" more than the "afters"!

Cheers

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Everybody, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments. Now I am off to visit you. Donnie, I really liked the moon photos too. I took these last night, but I have a bunch more that I have taken over the past couple of years. Maybe I'll make a slideshow out of them sometime soon.; February 18, 2011 at 7:32 AM
