I love cats.
Almost everyone we visited up in Portland
had at least one cat- one friend has four!
I adore this cat-her name is Fish.

The beginning of a fascinating projectThe Sellwood Bridge has been pretty shaky
for quite awhile (over 10 years) but the powers that be are
finally beginning the process of replacing it.

Only the Dregs Are Left!Since we only have 15 days left to this year
I thought I'd post this photo of the last drops in my beer mug
from last weeks Amnesia Brewings Winter Ale Festival.
This brew pub is one of our all time favorites!
Great ales, tasty bites and friendly staff!
Cheers to all and have a Happy Holiday!

Our Hops Will Be Harvested Monday!
We will be taking them to the Lucky Lab Brew Pub.
It's their annual Hop Day where we all take our
hops to donate. In return, we drink free ales
while picking all the hops off the vines
and eat free tasty bites. Six weeks from now we
will return and drink a few pints of our hops beer-
aptly named Mutt! It's a win win!

The 23rd year of Oregon Brewers Festival
http://oregonbrewfest.com/
http://oregonbrewfest.com/
The last full weekend in July will find us and many more
lined up at the multitude of beer taps tasting all the
new delicious brews. We always go the first day so as to
not miss any especially lipsmacking good hoppy beers.
Additionally, another entertaining part of the day
is the people watching and T-shirt reading. Cheers!

This is one of the best t-shirts seen this year....

Yesterday was simply stellar- 70 degrees!We took the bus to downtown Portland
and had the nicest afternoon.
Alright- some of it was spent in a dark pubwaiting to go into a dark movie house to
watch a 3-D movie about a newly discovered cave
and the 30,000 year old paintings on the walls.
Some of the movie could have been done
differently, but the images made so long ago
were so beautiful. What was the most interesting
thing is none of the images were of hunting and
there was only one obscure human image of a female figure.
After the movie we went over to North 45.A super duper place for mussels!
We shared a huge bowl of stir fried green beans..
and then shared a huge bowl of steamed mussels ina spicy garlicky broth. Complete with beer, bread and fries.
Yum. Then we walked the mile down to the bus and came home.
What a fun day.

Riding the railsYesterday we went downtown on the bus to catch the Red Line light rail over to the airport to do some Ikea shopping, then went over to N. Portland via the Yellow Line for lunch and then finally back to downtown Portland to catch our #35 bus back to Lake Oswego. While on the Yellow Line I chatted with this pleasant lady. Her little dog is a rescue dog that she has had for 3 years. I think she is one of our many homeless people here in Portland
