A GREAT TWO DAYS IN PORTLAND






On Wednesday Ron and I drove to Portland to see the kids. We stayed at Ron and Amy's. Amy had a knitting class the first night. She had left us delicious chicken soup and we visited and took a walk.

On Thursday Ron and I bought a new car, a Lexus SUV. It is my dream car. It is breakwater blue with a ivory interior. We then had lunch with Rick and May at La Bonita's. In the evening Amy and I went to the movies to see LE VIE EN ROSE, the story of Edith Piaf's life. We had a little tapas after then went home to bed.

Then this morning Rick, May, Ronnie, Amy, Ron and I all headed to Ashland to enjoy the weekend. Before we left I took pictures of Amy's gorgeous garden.

More to follow.

Beautiful car! Congratulations! Both of our daughters in law look absolutely gorgeous (and the rest of you aren't so shabby, either)! Knitting is really popular right now. I don't know if I would have the patience! Looks like another good trip!

Wow!!!!I am so excited for you! The car looks gorgous! I glad you got it! Amy's yard is beautiful. It is even better in person! Everyone looks so good and I am so happy for the Albano family. What an exciting year for all of you! You certainly all deserve it!
