oregon...



Glen and I drove down to Portland, OR for a few days. There's an annual old car swap meet that's apparently fantastic. Glen is building a '34 Ford truck so wanted to check things out.

1. The famous Portland sign. Someone put a 'for lease' sign right under it (who does that??) so it
    was impossible to get a really good shot of it.
2. The view from our hotel room. If you look really hard in the bottom left corner, you'll see Glen
    bringing me a morning coffee before he heads to the swap meet. Yes, I have a wonderful
    husband.
3. Out and about I came upon this very cool sign.
4. I also discovered the store Alder + co. I could've bought one of everything. And it was located in
    this really great building.
5. Schoolhouse Electric topped my list of things to see/do in Portland. The building was beautiful.
   The store was beautiful. I want to live in that store.
6. We decided to take a detour to Cannon Beach rather than head back up the I-5. It was a lovely
    drive.
7. The Astoria Bridge.

project365 week 15...


1. Easter Sunday egg hunt for the kids at my sister's house.
2. Glen spray painted my step stool for me. It was supposed to be flourescent pink but I couldn't
    find the right colour. It's now coral and I love it.
3. Trying to choose a paint colour for the office door. I can't commit. I'm thinking I might stick
    with white and just paint the inside edge a bright colour. (like this but probably coral)
4. I bought pink jeans. Weird.
5. Made a stop on the way down to Portland. (a few Porland/Oregon photos in the next post)
6. Planning my day in Portland.
7. Took a detour to Cannon Beach on the way home.
