Good grief- where has summer gone????

Where has the summer gone?

Flew out of the window....

Fall is just around the corner...

Meanwhile, here are a few photos from the past few weeks....

We went to Bolinas for a good friend's Memorial Service and Party
This sign was photographed at Sally and Gregg's house

where we stayed for a few nights

Arthur's party at Kitty and Arthur's home

There HAD to be music and plenty of delicious food....

The Vanishing Point Ranch

Sally's very busy horse business...

Meanwhile, back in Portland...

We went to a baseball game.....

Went to the annual Art in the Pearl....
These were fabulous hats...but too expensive for me...

Harvested our hops...

Took the hops to Lucky Lab Brew Pub

We picked and picked and the pub

gave us beers and free food....a good deal for all!

What we did on our Spring Break!

What's a person to do if it's cold and snowy outside........

The baby quilt going to France is in the mail...........

You have played at the Children's Museum with your nephews.....

Well then, it's time to head out to two of the new brewpubs in Portland

First stop is HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery) on

2944 SE Powell. ( http://www.hopworksbeer.com/ )

We taste samples of all their ales before settling on the delicious Organic IPA......

and tasty grilled cheeseburgers with real potato fries! You can also get house made potato chips....yummy

Then it's off to the Green Dragon on 928 SE 9th north of SE Hawthorne. ( http://pdxgreendragon.com/ )

Again we determine that we'll sample an IPA. Great way to round out our Spring Break week!

Looking down the long bar at the Green Dragon....

Clever message seen in the ladies restroom at HUB's.
