Today we tiled the fireplace after tiling the hearth last night and nailing a wood surround....it really looks nice. Now we have baseboards as our big task in addition to putting two toilets and 2 sinks in as well as hooking up the gas for the stove and all the plumbing in the kitchen for the dishwasher, garbage disposal and sink.....
Tomorrow we leave by train for Seattle with grand daughter Jillian..an overdue Christmas present to replace the plane flight she never got to Florida....tomorrow night we spend with her cousin Taigen and uncle Chris and Aunt Wendy.....Tuesday we take the Clipper boat from Seattle to Victoria...spending the night at the Empress Hotel...then back Wednesday night to Seattle. On Thursday it is up to the two cousins to figure out where they want to go..we hear Pike's Place and maybe the Children's Museum. Friday we take the train back to Portland.
Dear friend Claudia visited today....it has been great to have so many friends step forward to see Linda and bring her energy and excitement....it was her third reason for wanting to move to the Portland area...after wanting a Doctor at OHSU and to be near family.
Some pictures of the tiling and Linda at her best...

You look great, Linda, and the fireplace looks really nice. :) Have a fun time in Seattle and Victoria - the two of you definitely deserve it!

Gee, great looking fireplace....and the "chick" in the background looks terrific, too.
Wishing you a wonderful trip.

Great pictures Dave, and great tiling work Linda. The place looks beautiful! I am so amazed at your strength, Linda. I don't know how you do it, but whatever it is you're doing, keep doing it! Looking forward to reading more from you both in the future, and I hope your health issues will all be a thing of the past before long, Linda. Take care, and hope to talk to you both very soon.

PS- Hi Jim & Swee! I know you both from the Long Beach and Vegas races and I think Laguna Seca, too. Maybe Fontana... not sure. I recently saw you both in a group picture from the Mt. Tremblant race. You two are everywhere! That's awesome! You two rock! As do Dave & Linda, of course.
Hey, that's John Mayer (with Keith Urban - Crossroads) on the TV in the background. Great taste!!!
The house looks wonderful and so does Linda!
Take care,
shelly & jason paul
