Up early before daylight to brave a winter hazard alert and temps in the teens, making our way out of the valley and across the mountains to Pendleton, picking up Ivi who had flown in from Portland at daybreak, after riding the train from Seattle the night before. Upon arriving back home at 9:30 or so, breakfast was the first item of business, then a quick check-in at 103, followed by a series of naps to facilitate the resumption of Christmas festivities by noon. Charlie and Ivi: reunited.
