The good times keep rolling on the islands. Sis is excited to bring her friend to Colorado in August for the Noah Kahan concert and show her Greeley. As she said, “Now I have my own Asian to bring to the party!” Please remind her that Greeley…the opposite of Hawaii. She sure is lucky to see such a beautiful place. If only I was so lucky. Thanks for the pictures and the updates, Sara(Beth). Keep having fun.
We lost a “family member” last weekend, as The Tavern closed for business and Chad and Wendi sold to new owners. They had owned it for 16 years. It was a fairly emotional night as we celebrated the Young’s and everything that the Tavern had ment to our family over the years. Birthday parties, graduation parties, rehearsal dinners, cheap Saturday burgers, campaign kick-offs and election night watch parties. The list goes on and on. All those trivia nights while I was going through cancer. The beer dinners with good friends. Watching each of our kids work there, while Andrew was there until the end. Thanks you, Youngs. Thank you.
”Lazy day on the island” is how SBX framed today’s adventures. She got to do one of her favorite things (besides seeing me). Art museums! Keep having fun BG! Who knows…if I play my cards right, someday I might get to experience paradise. Bonus picture of the new City Council, now that we have filled the Ward 1 vacancy. Brian and I hate ties. So we stood in solidarity together. Bonus bonus picture of some of Council and the new City Manager at the United Way luncheon last week.
Another combined post! SBX still seems to be having a great time on the island. I’d really like to go there someday…Looks tropical. Back in the Dirty G, Jen and I were invited to attend the VIP opening for Edison’s Ice Cream in downtown. It was awesome. I ended up eating three scoops before rushing over to Council. Fun to see the store manager as one of the kid’s friends from middle and high school.
Jen and I were able to attend the annual Memorial Day service at Linn Grove Cemetery this year, It was a very powerful and moving service, and was so important to take a few minutes to reflect on the sacrifices of so many.
The world traveler is at it again. This time westward. And when you call Portland home, there are very few places to travel westward to that are still in the USA. Hawaii it is! She was invited to stay with her friend and her friend’s family for a few days. Travel day and day 1 were successful. Looks beautiful. Wish I could go to Hawaii…
Is “mishmash” one work or 2? IDK. Anyways, here is a mash up of things from the past week or so. Apologies if some pictures are reposts. Summer vacation for several people has finally arrived! Big things planned this summer…vacations, home purchases, parades, friends, and most importantly memories made and pictures captured. Stopped in briefly for the May edition of the Mob Mixer. Still going strong after 5 years. Happy birthday to co-founder Katie! Some sights on the morning miles with Bella. Brighton Chamber luncheon with the Summer 2026 ALLO intern Anna. Greeley Chamber After Hours at the Stampede. Hannah is back from Oklahoma! Free lunch with the ALLO team.
