Sigh. I posted Tag’s birthday update from a cabin in the Cascades and see now it did not post! Sorry Tag (and Tina)! 😳 Tomorrow — I promise 🙏🏽

Here is why I was at a cabin…

After more than 18 months, Future Ex-Husband FINALLY got his stuff out of the three-car garage. It took four truck loads!

Although we arranged for a deputy sheriff to be there, it still seemed like a good plan for me to be far away.

And so I was.

A family friend stayed at my house with Pozy and Harper, Sparkle stayed with Suzanne, and I took Claire, Capella, and Dear Daughter on an adventure.

First stop — Bend.

We met family there — one of my Perfect Sisters and Bethany, Berkeley and Lincoln.

Meanwhile, Sparkle was having fun with friends!

We left Bend and went to a rustic lakeside resort — hence the internet issues.

Disc golf anyone?

When the coast (and garage) was clear, we started heading home — by way of Boise.

Three Bright Stars — Capella, Atlas and Dallas Nova Jr.

We did this so that those three could have cardiac clearances completed. All good ❤️❤️❤️

The girls have been happy to have Dear Daughter hanging out with us.

Sparkle had a great tenth birthday — here she is doing one of her favorite things, which is rolling in something inappropriate.

And I have that clean and empty garage to turn back into an inside dog training space!

Happy Saturday to all of us 💚
