Every Winter I spend a lot of time wondering why the heck I live here. Now, during summer, I can really appreciate what makes Oregon so great.
* being able to spend all afternoon outside playing soccer with the kids, in July!
* Having the beach an hour and a half away.
*Having the mountains an hour and a half away.
*having everything an hour and a half away!!
* getting to pick any kind of berry imaginable for .99 a lb.
*getting to know lots of awesome people.
* today was 75 degrees with light showers.
* No school until September.
* getting to experience river rafting, snowcaving, horseback riding on the beach, swimming in crystal clear lakes, skiing in April, bike trails that take your breath away, watching fireworks from a sandpit, eating fresh crab, and much more...
*finding the latest, greatest restauraunt in downtown Portland.
* Having Joyce and fam so close.
*having Aunt Sharon so close.
*having Chris B so close.
*being able to actually grow flowers in my yard.
*and really, really appreciating all of you I don't get to see so often!!!

I must admit I am a little jealous...
Yeah, it is nice here. I'm glad that I have you to remind me of everything that's great about Oregon.
The homesickness is sinking in! Although..... Maryland can fit quite a few of those qualities. I guess I found the second best for a while!
ok, so what is the latest and greatest restaurant in Portland?
Cute blog Merilee! I'm glad you're here so I got to know such a cool person. I'll see ya at book club.
Bridget, Maybe not latest( it took me awhile to get there), but the latest for me was Montage. Southern food, really yummy. I finally got to try frog legs.
Pix, was also a good new one for me. It is a chocolate patisserie. delicious and very unique!
