Live from Spokane...

In the lovely city of Spokane to celebrate the marriage of my third cousin, Melissa Murphy. Drove up to The Dalles on Friday with the folks and got settled in....but ended up leaving my shirts/ties back in T.D. Ugh. A quick trip to the downtown mall Nordstrom - and I had the necessary duds. Still, a minor pain in the butt.

We have an interesting crew this time around. We've got 10 people from the Portland Hamilton/Michener/Duffy clan. From 4 months to 87 years - a real spread.

All and all, it's a three day affair. Last night's wedding and reception were very personal and enjoyable. Melissa and Cody were prince and princess and we had the privilage to share their day. Beautiful venues and friendly faces abound. We're gearing up to attend an event at Hayden Lake in Idaho with more of the family.

More to come....
