JOHN AND JUDY LOOK AT HOUSES IN HILLSBORO, LEAVE PROMPTLY

I realize this is old news, but I'll update anyway. Saturday, they left here and arrived in San Antonio for Art Wachdorf's retirement ceremony from Lackland Air Force Base Intelligence. He was the commander of the Warfare Intelligence unit, but good luck getting him to talk about anything. I do know that wherever he worked, he had to keep specially-constructed blinds closed all the time to prevent satellites from spying what he was working on.

Anyway, they're beating the heat and having a decent time so far. The ceremony is this coming weekend and then they return to Hillsboro for a day.

John and Judy did go looking at houses in Hillsboro, Cornelius and Forest Grove. Apparently, they had the good luck to find two houses they really liked. I think it took us a few weeks before that happened. As soon as I find the MLS number for each one, I'll post them for all to see!

Maybe we can have a vote on which house they should buy!

GRAYCIE SPIRITED AWAY ON SUNDAY

Well, it's unfortunate it didn't work out, but Graycie the cat is headed to New York and her new home. She's scared of other cats, so it just couldn't work out with Molly down in Medford at John and Judy's house. Jim Hardison and his sister Janet came over to the house to pick up Graycie. Jim lives in Portland with his wife Maria. Until recently he worked for Will Vinton Studios in Portland, the one and the same that made the California Raisins commercials, the PJ's and the current M&M's commercials.

I do believe Jim worked on the M&M commercials personally. I don't know what company he's at now, but it's in Portland also. You can read all about Janet over at Les Hardison.com. She conducts extensive family tree research for both the Wachdorf and Hardison families, among many other things. She'll be escorting Graycie, of whom I don't have a photo, to her new home in a carry-on cat bag. Peanuts or pretzels?

My quick break is over, so I'm back to work now. More updates later...
