Beautiful Cloudy Portland

-
I am so happy for the clouds today. I know summer is supposed to be hot, but it is not my favorite weather condition. This is much more to my liking. Sweaters are a great fashion necessity.

We went camping last weekend at Memaloose campground in the Columbia Gorge. We left on Friday and as we came past Hood River noticed a lot of smoke. It was the train derailment in Mosier. We made it to the campground and then the hosts came by and told us that we couldn't leave the camp area. The highway was closing and it would be at least the next day before anyone could travel. That was fine with us as we weren't planning to leave. I was sorry for those who had left early and then could not come back in.

The campground is nice and except for it being 100 degrees while we were there, we had a nice time.


Rudy enjoyed the view from a table top!

Love this droopy tree.

Yesterday Sylvia and I went along with Carrie's High School Art Students on a field trip to the Portland Art Museum. It was a beautiful day and we ate lunch at the Farmers Market.


Love the colors in this piece.


Nice to see Monet's lily pads.



And the famous Cats!!

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
