Some trips are huge and some are small but notable. No weekend at Gloria’s was complete without a stop at Molbaks, gift and garden store extraordinaire. This is where I was indulged with a plethora of decorative paper napkins. I have a designated drawer full of them. We don’t have a white napkin in the house.

One small trip was the drive and 90 minute wait for Krispy Kreme donuts. No shops in Portland, so this was memorable as well as tasty.

At our vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana we danced at Avalanche Lake after a 2 1/2 mile hike. The scenery was spectacular and the Marshalls (who were traveling with Jack and Gloria) captured the silliness of the moment.

Hanging out with the Kountz clan has always been an adventure packed with fun and warmth and love. It’s not over as we transition to the next phase of a never ending story.
