A deal has been arranged, and we moved into “our” room at Z & A’s…
Due to art research and occasional fun (…we only allow ourselves OCCASIONAL fun…) we were needing a landing spot in Portland…and now we have one. By “moved in” I really mean we brought some art and a lamp or two…they had been renting this room out and the last renter moved out March 1…so we’ve now moved in. We get to see the kids and have some chats, watch the new backyard evolution, and have a convenient launching pad for our own activities.
Z & A have moved the raspberries forward and Zach built a little deck out of palettes (free) with decking on top…it’s back by the chicken coop…
On our first morning we had a little breakfast…
checked the site of the soon-to-be new raised beds…
and headed off for a neighborhood drive-about, heading up Lincoln past the Canoe and Kayak Museum (it’s Portland after all)
up to Mount Tabor park…
to take a couple of views….
grab a lunch to go…
and head off into a day of errands, appointments, stuff…and as luck would have it, there’s a Stumptown coffee shop only a few blocks away…HOW PERFECT IS THAT????!!
On The Way 
its completely perfect!
how lovely! & ingenious of zach to build that small deck repurposing free materials. enjoy.
A terrific plan and stumptown as a bonus.
delightful! i am so jealous
. . .and they lived happily, ever after !! What WONDERFUL fun……and what a testimony to your relationshipw/Z & A………., that “A” must be quite a girl !!! N Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 19:26:55 +0000 To: npheald@live.com
Hey, give us a break. Don’t you think this is a little TOO good?
You and Roger really know how to live. You’re polar stars for the rest of us. George
Lovely!!
