My niece-in-law, Evelynne

Peter and I spent the week up in Portland, OR with his brother Jim, his wife Gillian and their baby girl, Evelynne. It was by far one of the most relaxing weeks of the year to date. Even though I had (and still have) a persistent cough that will not not go away, Gillian and I made the most of every day walking the dogs on trails and shopping while Jim and Peter built a fence in the backyard.
