Another Garden Touring Day

Since enjoyment of beautiful gardens is something we all have in common in this group of women we had a lovely day strolling two gardens together. One in Salem, which we saw with a smaller group a few weeks ago, and a new one[to most of us] in Portland; Deep Wood estate and then The Grotto. A wonderful little restaurant, The Konditorei, inserted halfway between for lunch.

Ivy Turns 10

I'm back after 2 weeks of  computer problems. 
I have a little catching up to do.

First off we have a milestone Birthday to mark. 




Ivy turned 10.


This grand occasion was marked with a "Ho-down" themed birthday party. We all got in the spirit of things by scrounging in closets, under beds, and back rooms to find some old cowboy gear.
