• Summertime …

  It’s not over and I can’t help thinking how quickly summer days pass. Summers are short here in Portland so we relish the warm (even hot) sun and long days because we know the rainy days are just around the corner. So, in honor of summer I thought I would post some photos from our [...]

• Forks in the Road

  It’s been a long time since posting. My husband and I have had some seriously big decisions to make and after nearly 4 months, we found resolution. Whew.

• Light and shadows

• Snow falls Portland

  The snow is old news by now and if you haven’t seen the video of cars crashing into each other here in Portland, Oregon, click here. Having spent most of my childhood and teen years near Lake Ontario, I grew up knowing that no matter how big the car or what kind of tires are [...]
