Nancy and Steve definitely showed up ready for adventure. Some of the highlights were as follows.
Brent took them to the Columbia Gorge, where winds were so high that everyone agreed it was to dangerous to continue. We showed them our favorite doughnut shop, Blue Star. While the marionberry compote with peanut butter remains my favorite, they seemed to be drawn to the old fashioned doughnuts.
We then did a progressive dining experience in one of the bigger food cart areas of Portland.
Nancy helped me to prepare Thanksgiving dinner by making a delicious cranberry apple pie and yeast rolls. Steve contributed his part by purchasing wine so no matter how poorly the dinner turned out it would automatically seem better. He also served as high council when it came to carving of the Turkey. We also were able to go to our favorite brewery tour while they were in town (Widmer Bros Brewery).

In summary, encouraging conversations, interesting food, and many sight seeing walks.
We heard about your fabulous food trucks.

Happy New Year and wishing you the best 2015. How do you like CO...where are you living? My family lived in CO for about 3 years in Arvada. Hello to Brent and furry friend minnie dog, too!
