Mama-Son Day

In anticipation of Mother’s Day, mama and I decided to have a “Mother-Sun” Day – on Saturday.  The weather was going to be cooperative (first day without the threat of rain in awhile!), so she rented a car for the whole entire day (instead of a few hours like usual) and we set off to…

Woop Woop

Laurelhurst Park… I know that we come here often, but I need to tell you how much I love you.  We actually walk for almost 2 hours each time just to get here, and then another 2 hours before we are home.  I really, really love coming here. Worth the walk if you ask me.…

Walk Like an Airedale-ian

Potential for sunny spring-like Saturday = full rucksack with food and water for another extended Airedale tour of Portland! For some, life is about stopping and smelling the roses.  I concur, but would add that stopping to chomp the cones is MUCH more appropriate.

Ruh-roh… here comes a mighty duck army…

Tattoo You

Today is two months since our lives were normal – two months ago tomorrow is when Klaus entered the hospital.  I have been wanting to get a tattoo to honor Klaus and his influence in my life, but I didn’t want to rush into it – I wanted something that would remind me of him,…

Polska? Nopeska!

We started off on a gloomy Saturday toward the Polish Festival that dad read about… off to North Portland to a little Polish enclave for a good kielbasa party… And when we got there all we saw was this – yes, it’s a sign, yes, it’s advertising the Polish Festival, and yes, it’s NEXT WEEKEND……
