It's Fall and I'm Back in the House a Bit More!

We have discovered a new great place for coffee in Lake Oswego.
It's called Blue Joe's, located on 2nd and B street. It has delicious
coffee, superb service and great atmosphere-a home away from home!


Back in the house more translates to I am cooking more and I am making
more baby quilts and starting up some Christmas gifts! Below is a baby
quilt I am making for Chantal and Berry's little boy due in December...

Grace asked me just a few days ago for my Pumpkin Pie recipe which
is found in the Joy of Cooking cookbook-so here it is Grace:

First off you have to cook the pumpkin.....




Then you make the pie! Bon appetit!

I haven't been lazy...just damn busy!

Today I dropped by to see Malia and
her family and also to see Malia's
newest painting! Of course, I think her
best pieces are her darling children!
Such as Mazy and Eliana...kids in a box!
Just add water....hahahah
















Eliana in a box.....

















Mazy had the brilliant idea of these photos!

















close up of Malia's painting....





















Malia's gorgeous painting for Andaluz's
new space in downtown Portland

















Russell is pondering his City Council logo
at Etta and Jeff's house.
Etta is doing Russell's artwork and layout
for his signs and brochures. Thanks Etta!










Meanwhile Pierizat opened her
birthday gift from us...
A doll from Puerto Montt Chile!





















A Secret Garden door found
in Lake Oswego's 1st Addition
I love this neighborhood with
all it's eclectic older homes.




















A few weeks ago we went to
Alberta Street Pub to listen
to some good finger picking
music. This guy was from
St Loius Missouri-he was great!





















I am learning how to make panorama photos
This was taken not far from our house.










Grace is here visiting and she
and I went shopping with Mushu
He is such a good dog-really like a cat!
Which means he likes being inside sleeping!





















Barbara, Russell and Susie at Elizabeth Leach's
gallery in the Pearl. Susie flew in from Florida
for 10 days to see all of us.















Grace and her dad in front of our garden.
The garden has a lot of sunflowers
planted by the birds.
Grace is here for a few days before
she leaves for New York.
She and Radu have a nice apartment
in Manhattan.
A good reason to visit New York!

Sonshine B and B in John Day Oregon

After a gorgeous scenic drive up the Columbia River Gorge and over to John Day via Biggs junction that takes you through Wasco via Hwy 206, and onto Hwy 19 through Condon, Mayville, Fossil, Service Creek (where you can have tasty hamburgers), Spray, Kimberly,past Sheep Rock and onto highway 26 past Dayville and Mt Vernon ...finally arriving 5 hours later in John Day. I love the drive. Hardly any traffic and far preferable to Hwy 26 over Mt Hood where one has to endure RV's slowly inching up the road!



Pausing on a bridge under construction.


Finally arriving at our
preferred destination in John Day!
