Right before my sister arrived for a visit, we were talking about the #tostones she had made. She’s visited Puerto Rico many times and so when she arrived in Portland, we went straight to Cubo, my fav Cuban restaurant in town. Fine late summer weather and outdoor patio seating didn’t hurt; our lunch made a great start to our visit.

Savory and sweet! These little darlings came home

Savory and sweet! These little darlings came home with us. First time visit to Tous Les Jours and I’ll be back. I really should have snapped some shots of the beautiful cakes, breads and pastries, but I was too busy walking around with my little tray and tongs and resisting the urge to try one of everything.

Overcast skies followed by blue skies. Bright, war

Overcast skies followed by blue skies. Bright, warm sun and then a bit of mist. Cup of coffee, a glass of wine. Long walks on one of our long, wide sandy beaches. Great friends, food, drink, time for walks, games, puzzles, reading and oh so much laughter!

Just returned home from another lovely short trip; this time to Manzanita, Oregon. Once home, I started watering the patio pots and came across these little beauties. No, they’re not as deep red and ripe as they were growing by the handfuls in June, but Oregon evergreen strawberries just keep coming. A nice welcome home!

Unabashedly feminist. Judy Chicago was a very important artist for me as a young feminist woman. I saw her “Dinner Party” early after it first exhibited and was enthralled. It was a joy to share my visit with a few of my fab girlfriends. “Unabashedly feminist,” assessed one. One of many reasons I love these and so many other kick ass women in my life.

Great exhibit at the Oregon Jewish Museum and center for Holocaust Education in Portland.

Seaside … the century-old Promenade, the tide pools at the Cove at the south of town and the Estuary at the north. Miles of beach. The Turnaround and a fun and funky throwback of a seaside downtown.

I have some silly and fun collections. These heart rocks from Alaska. A plate of dice. Masks. So many shells and rocks from places near and far. Some blown glass. Some fossils. A couple prices of petrified wood. Little figurines and statuettes. Some baskets, some vases; throughout the house. Artwork and books of course, but that’s different. It’s all just stuff, I know. But stories. They have stories.

What do you collect?

Great visit to Out in the Garden Nursery in Molal

Great visit to Out in the Garden Nursery in Molalla, Oregon, just outside Portland. Owner Carol was great fun sharing her property, plants and stories and girlfriend and I took home some fun shade plants for our own gardens. Highly recommend a trip out!
