Greetings SUPER HEROES...

Hopefully you were dry this weekend! Saturday I ventured out to Forest Grove... still not sure I ever saw the forest or the grove???

I was at my son’s Graduation.. He earned his Masters in Teaching Degree and is now looking to teach Middle School or High School Science and maybe Math. Though it poured..
