Chilly

After a full day of unexpected rain yesterday, it was nice to have a cool and sunny one today.  Now, it's downright nippy at 60˚!

These are a few of my blankets from India (remember the shopping spree to Tuesday Morn?). The striped wool blanket is from the Pendelton Woolen Mill Store in Portland, OR. What wonderful memories. I love it out there. 

It's kinda felt Portlandesque here these past few days.

I love when there is a chill in the air.

Why We Fell in Love With Portland & Oregon

Friendly rallies.  

                                                          

Mass transit. 

 Art shops with . . . CLASSES!

  

Meandering rivers and roads.

Extremely friendly natives.

And the most beautiful views you'll ever find.

Not to mention the best foods! 

And the most beautiful gardens. 

With homes to die for.

Sigh.

Portland, OR

We made it Portland, finally!  I already feel like I'm home.  We are loving it here.

I had my first (and last) Bloody Mary at breakfast.  Yuk.

We found Besaw's around the corner. Yum. Everything was great. Good thing I cleansed before I got out here, huh?

 Of course, we made a bee-line to the big toy shop in town, Finnegan's.

We ran into a peace rally. How cool is this?  Reminds me of my childhood!

Don't think you'd see this in Nashville.

Look at the dalmatian with a message!

 Lunch at Little Big Burger.

Then back to the hotel to look at our goodies!

 The kid's.

 Ours.

And my toys! Smurfs! I remember in high school German class, our teacher brought these back with her from Germany. I love them!

Ok, time for a siesta, now. I so seepy.
