Who's Who

People have asked about the identities of a few of the people mentioned, so I'll try to clarify:
Fred is Tashie's high school sweetheart they reconnected last year - another story altogether!
Rebecca is Tashie's grand-daughter via Bruce and Bethany
KD is Tashie's grand-daughter via Bruce

Nicholas relaxing in Portland

Anne and Dan Ankram are dear family friends from Portland/Camp Sherman/Bend, both RNs
Gail is a dear friend who helps Tashie stay on track, and who also happens to be a first responder/EMT.
And also, here's Nicholas, having arrived back in Portland after 5+ weeks in the Yukon, sporting a magnificent tan and 2 sprained ankles!
