This is a fifteen minute blog or it won’t get done.  I am packed up with rows of paraphernalia all lined up ready to be loaded.  Wanted to write this before I put my computer in the car.  If you read yesterday’s blog you will know part of what my day was.  I spent over 4 hours having my new car tires put on with alignment and oil change.  Then another hour or so hunting for the Shutterbug to buy more photo cards for my camera.  Downtown Portland is for the birds.  It couldn’t have been planned worse for the car user.  Dave told me that it was planned to make it miserable for drivers so they would use their public transit system.  I hope I never  have to drive in down two Portland again.  And I have driven is some of our largest cities in the U.S. and none were as poorly planned as that one.  Well, I guess they met their planning goal.

After the driving nightmare I followed Bossy’s instruction to take me to where Charlene and Larry were.  They were watching their three triplet granddaughters, Parker Rose, Payton Brook, and Presley James.  All three beautiful little babies born 1 month early in January and now all thriving and growing.  I will include a few pictures for you with the parent’s permission.  The babies father is Larry’s son.  I even fed one a bottle and a partial bottle to another.

The rest of my day was getting back to Charlene’s which took almost two hours due to rush hour cars and organizing for my pack-up.  For those who I have stayed with for several days can remember the routine.  Had a good nighs sleep and I still  haven’t done the zip line.  Decided to do it after I pack so all is done and I can leave.  I have about a three hour drive to Kenmore Washington where I will be staying the night with a friend of Charlene’s.

Today is my daughter’s birthday.  Oh how I wish I could reminisce with you about that day “long ago”.  Sorry daughter, it has been a long time.  Our daughter is our adventure.  I love you baby girl!  Always a baby in my heart.  More about  you later!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAUGHTER!

Must go as I have lots to do.

Exactly 15 minutes.
