HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGIE

Today would have been Angela's 32nd birthday. We think of her every day, of course. Yet, on this special day we thought we would honor her with a few pictures from her beautiful life.

MOTHER'S DAY

I am here in Portland enjoying my kids and grandkids. It is such fun!

WORKING ON THE CONDO

Here are some photos of the condo as we are making it a home. From top to bottom:

Thursday in Portland

Today was surely full. Ron and I went to meet May and Nico for Story Hour at the library in the morning. His picture shows him sitting on his favorite ledge. In the afternoon I visited with Anthony and Alice. Amy and I took them to Safeway and they were able to ride in a about double seated cart.
Back at the house we gave the babies their bath a little early and fed them.
This evening is Portland's first Thursday. One night a month artwork is displayed all over downtown. Wine and cheese is available in each gallery compliments of the artist. Our building alone had 4 or 5 going on downstairs. Also May, Rick, Amy and Ron stopped in to see what we have done thus far to our condo. I had finger foods and we opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate our first time together our new place. We are having a delightful time.

BACK IN PORTLAND

Ron and I returned to Portland yesterday. Our goal is to spend the month here and fix up our condo. We are working on it. My first priority is to be with the grandchildren of course.

We only saw them briefly last evening. But today was such fun. In the morning Amy and I took Anthony and Alice to the OMNSI museum to meet May and Nico. The kids had such a fun time. Anthony loves the water play. Nico is dressed for water play and checking out his Nana. Alice is loving the fish tank.

In the afternoon May brought Nico over to visit Poppi and I at the condo. Nico played the little guitar for us while he was here.

This evening we went to Cha Cha Cha to celebrate Cinqo de Mayo with Rick, May and Nico. It is always delightful to spend time with the kids and Grandkids.
