The City of Roses

Here is another name for Portland! The climate here is perfect for growing roses. The gardens are fabulous and yesterday we visited the Chinese Garden. The kids are heading back to Chicago, sigh.




What I do know is, what makes a happy mom is a happy son!




What can I say, my Stumphouse Barista loves me!




There is so much to love about Portland...#1' it's weird...different. A church of Elvis, a voodoo donut place, a bookstore that takes up 2 city blocks...and chocolate touched by the moon!




I have been working on my linen cross stitch and I am getting better! Today I get to head back over the mountain...to my sewing room! Ahhh.

  4. What a great trip, and visit, you've had! That barista does good work. It's almost too pretty to drink. I love the way the linen cross-stitch looks. Your work is beautiful. Have a safe trip home, and enjoy every moment of it.

  6. I love it when my kids come to town, but it's always so hard to say goodbye! I'm really lucky to have at least a couple of them local enough so that I can see them fairly often. Safe travels home!
