PARADE OF GUESTS, PART 3: DAD

The final stop on the week long parade of guests is Dad. He had some frequent flier points to burn, and he decided to use them to fly to one of America's most expensive airports. (The flight from Medford to Portland was once the most expensive flight--per mile--in the US.)

We were happy to see him here, and Nate and Will enjoyed themselves too. But getting a good photo of the trio wasn't the easiest thing. But we did pull two acceptable photos from the session.Here we have Dad flashing a winning smile, Will looking anxious, and Nate appears to be recovering from a good cry. So let's snap the shutter again and we get...Will flashing a winning (if blurry) smile, Nate looking anxious (but cute), and Dad looking like he's recovering from a good cry. It all kind of works out.

But now he visiting season is over. We do appreciate all the guests who showed up on our doorstep this week. In 8 days, we entertained more people here than we did in an entire year in Texarkana.

Where I come from, we call that progress.
