The
one nice thing about traveling around is that you get to meet all
kinds of wonderful people, and they are so eager to "share"
themselves and their surroundings with you. The pictures below are
those shot from the Portland, Oregon seminar in mid-April 2006. The
landscapes were simply amazing, but the landscape pales to their wonderful
residents!
Thank you girls, for one fantastic, memorable trip! |

This honery monkey is my friend Jamie Mills-Price. She was not only
kind enough to join us for the seminar in Portland, but she also kept
me company as my room mate for her stay. We had lots of good stuff
to gab about and catch up on.

Have you ever
meet someone that you feel you've known forever? Well this sweet
lady, Linda Ware, is one of those people! Linda
was our "official driver" for the trip to the coast, and
her 9-seater mini-van is where they kept me hostage for the entire
journey! <giggles> I'm a tad bit chlostrophobic and they put
me in the back row. LOL They allowed me to get out sporadically,
and they fed me a good meal at the coast.
For dessert
we wound our way around roads with VERY high cliffs and I had my
head buried in Jamie's underarm for most of that part!
You're probably
figuring there was lots of giggling on this trip!
That goes without saying . . .

This is Bell Breaux or "Miss Belle" as everyone now addresses
her! This is the name I gave to her about 5 years ago when we met
in a class in North Carolina. Ms. Bell now resides in Portland and
she surprised me by showing up at the airport to pick me up and
take me to the class. She spent the day touring the coast with the
"group", and stayed both days to paint. That was yet another
treat I had in store on this special trip!

This special lady is Cindy Ferguson, my seminar coordinator.
Cindy is so full of life and she brings "life" to the
Chapter. Everyone loves having her around (including me) and she's
one of the most giving people I've ever met. She is truly an asset
to this Chapter.
Cindy, thanks for your great work in making this a total success!
