Paula and Crew

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

In the most windswept location in Oregon, we met Paula and her entourage, straight from Ontario, Canada, on an epic road trip, today. We've followed Paula's brilliant pictures over the years of Blip and other postings, and we've followed her dogs, Soleil and Arwen. I've seen them onscreen so much that today felt like a celebrity sighting. They chased balls, splashed in the Columbia, ran on the beach, while we chatted in a gale force spring bluster. How lucky we were to cross paths today. Paula, because of her lifetime with dogs, understands our story with Kirby, and she knew him, through Blip, for his last five years. Just like we've known Soleil's and Arwen's story for the last five years. 

So on a windswept Columbia River beach, we talked to a friend from long ago, but one we'd never met...Paula. Let's all meet again.
