We had a short but fun trip to Portland last weekend. I had to buy some canvas and art supplies. We left Friday eve after Mom got off work and drove to Wood Village that night, where we stayed in a real nice Best Western. Next morning we went to an art supply store down in NW Portland, where I got my stuff. Then we went to Powell's Bookstore. Melissa and Jared, and Jared's girlfriend (also named Melissa!!) met us at Powell's and we went to Henry's up the street for a nice lunch. Jared's Melissa is a hairstylist in a shop downtown--she had to leave for an appointment.
After lunch, Mom and Melissa went shopping and Jared and I walked around the Pearl District looking at galleries. Met a longtime artist friend of mine at one of the galleries, and made a new artist friend at another.
We spent Sat nite at Melissa's, then everyone gathered at a restaurant for breakfast Sun morning before we left, including Bobby and his daughter Haley and mother Connie.
We had a great time.
Great to see the posts on Ashley's OM group. That looks right up her alley. Thanks, Arielle for posting the self-portraits. OMG, you're blonde again! And your hair is getting so long! You look beautiful, as always.
Love, Mom/Grandma & Dad/Grandpa
