Curtis and I were in the Portland area this past weekend for a baby shower...is everyone I know having babies?
Anyway, it's been a quite some time since I've been to Portland since moving from Beaverton Memorial Day Weekend, 2005. As we drove through the Chehalem Valley to my friend's house in Lafayette, I realized how much I miss fall. See, where I live, in La Pine (which is approx. 30 miles south of Bend in case you've never heard of it, which I hadn't until my in-law's retired here), we don't have fall. The seasons change from summer to frickin freezing. The majority of the trees here are some form of pine, be it the coveted Ponderosa Pine, or the stick like lodgepole pine and they stay green through the year, unless they are covered in snow, then it's like I live in a black and white picture. This morning the temp was somewhere in the upper teens or lower 20s, but when it's that cold, a few degrees doesn't make that much of a difference. Time to break out the winter coats!
We had a good time visiting with friends and wandering around the newly remodeled Washington Square Mall. We had to leave earlier than I would have liked so we could get back to L.A. Pine (my dad loves when we call it L.A.) and finish painting the trim on our house (less than 2 months *hopefully* and we'll be moving in!).
So, this blog is dedicated to my dear friend, munchkin mama, who told me when we moved a year and a half ago to start blogging!
