Have a Happy and Safe Holiday!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Since I know many of you will not be online tomorrow, or through the weekend, just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday wherever you happen to spending it.

DSC_0375I took this picture in Sydney during my recent trip there for work. It has something in it that we haven’t seen much of in Oregon this December, the sun. Of course, Christmas is a Summer holiday down there, which only goes to show that no matter what you’re doing, or who you’re spending your holiday season with, there is more than one way to celebrate.

However you choose to celebrate this year, I hope you enjoy the heck out of it, and remember all the folks who do care about you, wherever they happen to be this time of year.

That goes especially for all the folks that have someone way out here in Oregon who cares about them. We may be spending the holiday in the rainy Willamette Valley, but our hearts are with all of you.
