Just thought I'd mention, forsythia and daffodils are blooming in my yard here in Central Oregon, and I've declared it's in your honor!

Be safe, be well, and when you get here, welcome to Oregon!

Blessings.

Be safe and have a wonderful time. You are going to meet some great folk. And you are going to see the country as few of us ever do. Best wishes.
