Weekend of Fun

A shining example of the folks you meet at the Portland Saturday Market!

Last weekend, we were blessed with our granddaughter's presence. Her parents were going to an outdoor concert and asked us to keep her for the weekend. We had her with us from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon. Donna had to work on Friday afternoon, so Bubba was in charge. He and Julia fed the ducks, went for a walk, played games, picked flowers and decorated the rig with them, watched a movie and fixed dinner! They had a great time just the two of them. Saturday, bright and early, we took the MAX (light rail) from Gresham to downtown Portland to the Saturday market. Julia loved the ride and the market was full of all kinds of people, booths with many different artists' renderings, food of course and plenty of fun. After walking around for a while, we had lunch then headed for home. We had a short stop at a shopping center before we continued our trip. Julia was ready to keep on going, but grandma Donna was pooped! Sunday Julia, Sarah (Donna's other daughter) and Donna took off for a girls' adventure. It was fun in the parks of Gresham. Julia was very happy to run and play to her heart's content. Sunday afternoon her parents returned, tired, dirty and happy. It took the whole week for me to recover, but it was worth it all.

Work is going well for both of us and Donna started her hospital volunteer job last week - loves it. We've already been here a month and time is flying by. Hope everyone is having a great spring soon to be summer. Happy Memorial Day!!
