An overnight bed & breakfast adventure in Astoria. The weather was perfect- & I'm in love!

An array of excellent signage:

The room across from us was full of excellent fashion sketches by a Don from the 1940s. Swoon!

The view from our B & B

.... at this point blogger is making me really mad with it's 'sorry you can't rotate photos after you upload rule' so there are just a few more before I go crazy. These are from Battery Russel, it's full of magic there, and a little bit scary.

A woodsy hike...

Daisy crowns

This post is sorely missing a slough of hats- damn you blogger! But they need to be shared so I'll find a way.
Portland is looking more like Portland in the spring- I want to worship the sun all day every day!

I had a 25th birthday in the past couple of weeks.

That is a picture from my trip, it's on it's side and I can't turn it around in blogger because blogger sux... but I don't care! I'll post more pictures here soon. It was a lovely time!

an experiment: cont.

If you happen to be here because you stumbled upon one of these:

... welcome! I am so glad you're here. You were in my favorite cafe to get a baguette sandwich. Mine had brie, spinach, apple, and a light smearing of 'The World's Greatest Mustard.' Have you tried the cherimoya italian soda? A dream! The mangsteen smoothie? To die for! You may have seen Adam and me (see here) parading like fools on the last sunny day we had... and now you know why he wasn't wearing any clothes. You were in one of my favorite grocery stores, and one of my NOT so favorite grocery stores. And YOU were in my favorite happy hour haunt. Have you had the chicken wings? Finger licking goodness, all the way!

These are fun. They're like leaving little secrets. I'm going to keep going with this for awhile, and it will be called 'Places I Have Been.' I am brainstorming ways to make it a real treat when you find one. Like maybe I put one of the answers to a deep dark secret of the universe on them. Or maybe I send you a prize? Any suggestions? What would you want to get in the mail? A ball of string? Some coupons? A picture of my left nipple? Jk, no nipple for you!
