Oops!
I'm on vacation.
In Portland!
Here's a recap of what I've done so far:
Yesterday (my first day), I went to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood with my family. We had a picnic underneath ski lifts, strolled around the lodge, and saw 42,000 butterflies. Forest fires are burning not too far from the mountain, so it smelled like we were camping - which I secretly loved.
Today, the little sis and I went to the International Rose Test Garden (my favorite place), the Japanese Garden (we overheard a tour guide say, "turn off the noise in your minds and take in everything through your eyes" - it was a great idea, but so crowded I couldn't meditate), and we tried going to Powell's Books...however, the driving was insane and I couldn't find a parking place. Portland is so busy these days! When I worked downtown awhile back, I felt like I owned the place. Today, I was a tourist completely.
Tonight, I'm making dinner for my grandpa and his girlfriend. I like her, but she says Missouri very hickish (Miss-ur-ahh).
So, I will mostly be in and out of Bloggerville. Mostly because my parents have dial-up. No pictures until I get back to Florida: next-next weekend.
Postcards anyone?
Love to you all,
Madge
P.S. Word has come from Florida that my Fritz Knits hats have arrived. WOOT!
