My best friend, Denise and her husband Mike, moved from Austin, TX to Portland, OR. to be near their daughter and son in law and help with the 3 sets of twins, born 2 yrs apart. This is my first visit since they moved.

Denise and I met in 1978 at Hermann Hospital in the Houston Medical Center., where we worked. At the time we were both newlyweds and new nurses. she and her husband had just moved to Houston, during the boom, from Buffalo, NY. We’ve been friends since. We’ve been there for each other during good times, the birth of our children. And also for the sad times of loss of family members.

The next evening, we had a cruise on the lake.

Evening.

Another day.

Story time, after jammies on, getting ready for bed.

Leaving the next day. They are all so darling. Good Night.
