Day Three

The Lake Oswego house is a beauty. This piece of glass artwork in the hallway welcomed the sun each morning of our stay. Joanne, the Stumptown coffee and the batch of blueberry muffins were a 'hit' each morning. We're both early morning risers and being on vacation didn't change my biological timetable. I was up most days between 5 and 6 but usually kept to myself til 7, blogging or checking out various online newspapers and magazines. Once everyone was up, had breakfast and showered, our day began in earnest. Most days with Joanne are go, go, go! She's a big time, dayplanner, but always makes you feel you are well paced and under control. We got a lot done each day, but it never felt rushed or hectic.

  6. HI There, I haven't been to Oregon ---but my son was there at one time and I remember seeing pictures of the river and the area... WOW---that's another trip to put on my bucket list.... ha

    Our trip out west was fabulous--but 3 weeks is a long time to be gone from home. The next big trip will not be taken in Summer --especially to places like the Grand Canyon --which was wall-to-wall people....

    Glad you enjoyed your Oregon trip.
