Season's Greetings From Clair

Hey St Clair clan,
Since this is my first blog entry ever – I will give a short history of C & B (Clair and Beverly). Clair born 1951, Beverly 1940, Married in 1976, daughter and son, 6 grandchildren, 2 sisters-in-laws and brother-in-laws, lots of eclectic friends.

Beverly worked in education of all types from juvenile corrections to Jr. Hi to adult nutrition – retired OSU extension. I worked conservation education – outdoor school for kids and presently Soil and Water Conservation District for adults. Put in 12 years of full-time farming (Blueberries, Raspberries, Marions and Boysens) during that time and another 14 yrs of part-time farming .

Beverly likes to garden and visit a number of older folks that need visitors. She writes a bit and paints a lot since retirement. She travels to Tennessee to see our daughter and grandkids twice a year. I like work because the jobs are so diverse. Chocolate is an essential food group for me and tea for Beverly. I have a 3rd part-time job as naturalist on a small cruise ship (60 guests) in Alaska, Baja and on the Columbia River(Lindblad Expeditions). The company offers staff space available on trips all over the world and we take as much advantage of it as possible. I am headed for Ecuador and Galapagos Islands next Wednesday and return Christmas eve. We have been to Antarctica, Europe, Central America. Beverly isn’t going on this trip and is holding out for Europe and Scandinavia. Would travel more but the only thing holding us back in having to work for a living and available cash. Sound familiar?

Come visit - we would love to hear what makes life exciting for you. We can fill in the details on our short history !

Life is fine – Everyday is a Great Day - just that some are Greater than others!

Love to all, Clair and Beverly

Hi Clair and Beverly,
Great to get your newsy letter. Your life is so interesting and it would be great to hear even more.
At one time I had a link to one of your trips and it was fun to check in to see what was currently going on. However that link has been lost to me so if you could post it again we could all check out the trip and photos again.
Thanks again and hope to read more from you soon!

Love,
Cousin Peggi
