Party Host

I got to play host today for a pre-dinner party at the Alderfers'.

Here I am outside before the party:

We had some wine and cheese appetizers.

Later, I got a bit carried away.  What can I say, I like candy!

Back on the Road!

Well, it's been a long time, but I'm back on the road again.  Made the trip up to Seattle for Thanksgiving this week.  It was a wet drive, but we made it safely.

Here I am outside Spiffy's Restaurant.  Great food if you're driving through Chehalis, WA.

Posing for my blog photo

Posing always feels so awkward. But I have this nifty blog now for documenting my journeys. I'll be doing some backposting. And hopefully my future host families will help me continue to post my future travels.
