Each year we start out planning what we are going to do and how we are going to do it. Well 2010 was no different than any other year. We start our strong in the first 2-3 months doing as much in our spare time as possible. By mid year we start to get bogged down and loose sight of our plans. However, we did make it to a few very fun things along the say. 
In May we planned a trip with some friends to the South coast of Oregon and spent a long weekend in Bandon and Port Orford. It was relatively nice and we had a good time visiting, camping, and geocaching. We were introduced to “Frickles” (see a previous post) and continue to love making these deep fried wonders. We spent some time shopping at the Eugene Saturday market one weekend. For those that have never been there – it’s a eclectic (if not downright strange) collection of people selling crafts and local produce. 
In June, the school year ended and we planned a riding trip to Milican with family and friends. Disaster struck for one of our riding/geocaching friends as he was laid off from his long standing job. I lost three employees and have struggled getting new staff trained all summer and fall. We did make our Milican trip with our family, but it was abbreviated (but very fun). We took some great pictures during the trip, rode some wonderfully dusty trails, and found a few geocahces in the high desert. Watching the parasailing from the butte was also very interesting.
July wiped by, the biggest event was the acquisition of our Great Dane Crixus. He has been a wonderful addition, but very high maininence. Getting used to an enormous puppy has been very stimulating and at times high tension! We took a quick unplanned trip to Crater Lake in August and took Crixus with us.
In October and November we worked and played with the dogs on the beach. Morgan grew leaps and bounds and is poised to move to High School this next year. As the year comes to a close we keep our eyes out for next year and are once again planning. I hope that we can be better about meeting our dreams and ideas. Seeing friends and family along the way and taking the slow road.
I wish you all a great end of 2010 and hope that all your dreams for 2011 come true…. Jamaica here we come!!!!
