Fred's first visit to the Oregon Brewers Festival July 22, 2015


First Fred paid his respects to
Linus Pauling who is buried in
the Lake Oswego Pioneer Cemetery.
Our good friend Joe is the caretaker
there so when we visit we usually
stay there....and the neighborhood
is quite peaceful....
 

 
 


Fred's first taste- he and I shared.
We tried an ale from New Zealand.
 

 
Some folks take the brew fest as
an opportunity to get dressed up.

 
The festival is well prepared....

 
After a bit we had a lamb gyro
with garlic fries.

 
Okay- I think Fred has had enough!

 
It's time to leave the Festival and
go to Hubers for a great turkey sandwich
and a Spanish Coffee!

 
Made in front of us- this gentleman
has been a fixture at Hubers for decades!
Making a Spanish Coffee is an art form.

 
Yum.

 
Back home using public transportation

 
Traffic was so slow and backed up
I chose to get out and walk the rest of the way.
One of the big reasons we don't
live here any more!
Have a great day and always be safe!

Six Words and Shadowy Shots June 20-21, 2015

 
Meet Gnome of the Brave!
 
 
 
Could not resist this find at our
local Spring Hill nursery!
Like a lot of other silly people
I'll be taking him with me shopping
(  Gnomes are excellent fashion advisors )
and on our little vacations here and there!
~~~ 
Meanwhile do skip over to Six Word Saturdays
and Shadow Shot Sunday to play along
or to just enjoy everyone's contributions!
Have a great weekend!
 
 
See how small he is!
    Have a great weekend!
