Greetings from Portland! Just a quick post to let you all know I finished, and I finished well. Everything went relatively smoothly, except for sore knee. But I’m done, and I’m glad. Thanks for all your prayers!

. . .getting your luggage right before you have to go to bed! I was getting kind of worried–the afternoon had past, and no lost bag. Then the evening coming and going, and nothing. FINALLY, after filling up my arms … Continue reading →

Just a quick note from the hotel lobby to say hello from Seattle! The weather is great today, but it’s Saturday that really counts. Praying for gentle temps and dry skies.  Flight was long, but uneventful, except that they lost … Continue reading →
